→Preparing a development environment
Note: you must run minicom in a "smart terminal". minicom doesn't work when run inside an emacs shell, and it errors out with a somewhat cryptic message ("No cursor motion capability (cm)").
You must create an adb connection for your RPi. adb is the "android debug bridge" over which diagnostic output is received and development commands are sent. Usually an adb connection is made over USB, but this hasn't been tested with the RPi. (The RPi's USB ports are intended to can't be used in master mode, and it's not yet known whether they will go into configured for slave mode if connected to a host machine through a full-sized USB male-to-male connector. These cables are also somewhat hard to find(On Models B and newer.)
You can connect adb through the RPi's ethernet port, however. To connect adb over ethernet, you need to find out your RPi's IP address on your LAN. You can do this by either looking at your network router's client table, or running the following command on your RPi's serial console
