Debugging Prestigio PMP7070C

 

I just unpacked brand new PMP7070C, connected it to my Windows box in order to have a quick debug session using Eclipse and ADT and ….  kabooom!

 

I failed to deploy my app on the device, although I have already enabled the debugging from the Android’s Settings/Applications/Development menu.

I checked the DDMS perspective in Eclipse and played a little with adb commands from the command prompt, but still without success. It turned out that the device was not connected ( according to adb ). So, I checked the Windows Device manager and realized that the ADB driver for the device was not installed automatically.

 

So , XDA-DEVELOPERS.COM forums came to help again. I found the following post containing a link to the adb drivers and even install instructions if you don’t know how to do it alone.

NOTE: there was a guy complaining that the drivers did not work on 64 bit Windows. However , I am on 64 bit Windows 7  and it works for me.
