USB Serial Dvice for Android

Posted By: Vinayakhegde

Original discussion can be seen here.

Root the pcDuino3 by installing SuperSU from the google play store.

Install ES File Explorer

Install the Terminal Emulator if it is not already.

Open terminal window and become a super user by executing “su” command.

Remount file system as writable by executing “busybox mount -o remount,rw /system”

Use ES File Explorer to create “android.hardware.usb.host.xml” into folder “/system/etc/permissions”. Edit the new file so that it contains the following…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/>
</permissions>

Edit file “handheld_core_hardware.xml” or “tablet_core_hardware.xml” in the same folder as above to include the line, “<feature name=”android.hardware.usb.host” />” inside  the permissions area denoted by “<permissions>” and “</permissions>”.

Reboot

 

You should now see your USB serial device when connected.e
