Android hardware debugging

I've bought a tablet recently. It's a SysTrade's Plug 10.1 (Chinese product of local company). It features a reasonable CPU and quite nice GPU, so I thought it would be great to hardware debug my applications. However, this feature seems not to work on my device...

At beginning I lacked the required vendor id so after a few phone calls to SysTrade I received one. But that code didn't work. So I've written a small app and got all 2-byte numbers which I copy-pasted to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules. The problem is that adb still can't see my device. What's important my HTC Wildfire is successfully recognized so rules are written well.

I know none who owns this tablet so I don't have a possibility to check whether all Plugs or only mine are affected. Any ideas would be highly appreciated...

PS. I'm developing on Linux (Ubuntu 12.10). PS2. When I connect the device to PC it shows that hardware debugging is turned on, but adb doesn't see my device.

I've managed to successfully resolve the issue without rooting the device. The only needed action is to manually add an entry for the device vendorid in ~/.android/adb_usb.ini.

Normally it should be generated based on /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules by android update adb command but it seems that this application failed. What's important, vendorid must be given in hex number specific format, which is: 0x(2-BYTE HEX) for example 0x2207.

Try running adb on root.

If that doesn't work you can still try to root your device(This may void warranty) and use app like adbWifi. I'm using the latter for debugging and it works: I can run my apps on my M-tech aTAB7t.
