Thanks Corbin... Do you know how to compile adb and fastboot for ARM??? Or can you punt me in the right direction???

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Every tutorial I have found for compiling ADB for ARM devices is outdated and doesn't work. If I can't figure out how to compile it myself, I'm going to try using the ADB binary that Debian for ARM devices. It's more of a last resort though, because installing Debian's ADB would also require installing at least one library that may or may not work on Chrome OS. Still trying to figure it all out :/

I can't get this to work on my MB Air running a fresh install of Mavericks (10.9.2).

All I get is this error:

bash: /dev/fd/63: Bad file descriptor

I already checked my disk and fixed permissions.
Any suggestions?

Corbin... Any luck with adb for ARM chromebooks

Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm going to compile it on my Raspberry Pi the next chance I get and see if I can get it working. Does the installer at least work (even if it installs the old ADB) on your ARM Chromebook?

I'm still receiving the same error... :(

It works fine on my Mavericks Mac Mini. Try typing this command into the Terminal instead:

Code:
cd ~ && curl -s -o ./install.sh "http://github.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/raw/master/install.sh" -LOk && chmod +x ./install.sh && ./install.sh && rm ./install.sh

    Nexus Tools is an installer for the Android debug/development command-line tools ADB (Android Device Bridge) and Fastboot for Mac OS X and Linux. The script does not need to be downloaded, simply copy and paste this command into the terminal and run it to install ADB/Fastboot:

    Code:
    bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)

    and this command to un-install Nexus Tools:

    Code:
    bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/uninstall.sh)

    Nexus Tools requires sudo privileges to install/uninstall the adb and fastboot tools to /usr/local/bin, so they can be run without typing the full directory. Nexus Tools is licensed under the GPLv3 license, and the source code is at the GitHub project below.

    If you have a problem with Nexus Tools, leave a reply below or as an issue on the GitHub project!

    Someone tested already??
    im afraid..:p:p

    I've tested it on my Mac Mini (OS X 10.9), a Live CD of Ubuntu 13.04, and a custom Chrome OS x86 build and it worked on all of them.

    I added armv71 as a valid archetecture for ARM Chromebooks, it should work now :)
