Installing On-device Debug Agents using USB

An USB connection can be used to install the on-device debug agent, either Application TRK or System TRK, (SISX file), to enable on-target debugging. The installation location of the on-device debug agent will vary based on the phone. On some phones it will be the Installed folder, on others it may be in My Own folder. Refer to the documentation that came with the phone to learn where installed programs are stored.

NOTE You can use the connection software that came with your device to install the on-device debug agent SISX file. For example, all Nokia phones ship with the PC Suite software for installing programs. See your phone's operating manual for assistance on using it's software.
