| <p>If you are developing on Windows and would like to connect an Android-powered device |
| to test your applications, then you need to install the appropriate USB driver. This document |
| provides links to the web sites for several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), |
| where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device. However, this list is |
| not exhaustive for all available Android-powered devices.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you're developing on Mac OS X or Linux, then you probably don't need to install a USB driver. |
| To start developing with your device, read <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/device.html">Using Hardware Devices</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If your device is one of the Android Developer Phones |
| (ADP), a Nexus One, or a Nexus S, then you need |
| the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/win-usb.html">Google USB Driver</a>, instead of an OEM driver. The Galaxy |
| Nexus driver, however, is distributed by <a |
| href="http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/verizon-wireless/SCH-I515MSAVZW">Samsung</a> |
| (listed as model SCH-I515).</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="InstallingDriver">Installing a USB Driver</h2> |
| |
| <p>First, find the appropriate driver for your device from the <a href="#Drivers">OEM drivers</a> |
| table below.</p> |
| |
| <p>Once you've downloaded your USB driver, follow the instructions below to install or upgrade the |
| driver, based on your version of Windows and whether you're installing for the first time |
| or upgrading an existing driver.</p> |
| |
| <p class="note"><strong>Tip:</strong> When you finish the USB driver installation, |
| see <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/device.html">Using Hardware Devices</a> for |
| other important information about using an Android-powered device for |
| development.</p> |

| <p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> |
| You may make changes to <code>android_winusb.inf</code> file found inside |
| <code>usb_driver\</code> (for example, to add support for other devices), |
| however, this will lead to security warnings when you install or upgrade the |
| driver. Making any other changes to the driver files may break the installation |
| process.</p> |
