| 26 | <p>If you are developing on Windows and would like to connect an Android-powered device |
| 27 | to test your applications, then you need to install the appropriate USB driver. This document |
| 28 | provides links to the web sites for several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), |
| 29 | where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device. However, this list is |
| 30 | not exhaustive for all available Android-powered devices.</p> |
| 31 | |
| 32 | <p>If you're developing on Mac OS X or Linux, then you probably don't need to install a USB driver. |
| 33 | To start developing with your device, read <a |
| 34 | href="{@docRoot}tools/device.html">Using Hardware Devices</a>.</p> |
| 35 | |
| 36 | <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> If your device is one of the Android Developer Phones |
| 37 | (ADP), a Nexus One, or a Nexus S, then you need |
| 38 | the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/win-usb.html">Google USB Driver</a>, instead of an OEM driver. The Galaxy |
| 39 | Nexus driver, however, is distributed by <a |
| 40 | href="http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/verizon-wireless/SCH-I515MSAVZW">Samsung</a> |
| 41 | (listed as model SCH-I515).</p> |
| 42 | |

| 44 | <h2 id="InstallingDriver">Installing a USB Driver</h2> |
| 45 | |
| 46 | <p>First, find the appropriate driver for your device from the <a href="#Drivers">OEM drivers</a> |
| 47 | table below.</p> |
| 48 | |
| 49 | <p>Once you've downloaded your USB driver, follow the instructions below to install or upgrade the |
| 50 | driver, based on your version of Windows and whether you're installing for the first time |
| 51 | or upgrading an existing driver.</p> |
| 52 | |
| 53 | <p class="note"><strong>Tip:</strong> When you finish the USB driver installation, |
| 54 | see <a |
| 55 | href="{@docRoot}tools/device.html">Using Hardware Devices</a> for |
| 56 | other important information about using an Android-powered device for |
| 57 | development.</p> |

| 69 | however, this will lead to security warnings when you install or upgrade the |
