USB Connectivity Setup

## USB Connection Setup

On-device debugging supports the use of USB to debug programs running on a target device. To enable communication with a USB device, a connection must be established between the PC and the device. Doing that requires one of the following USB connectivity cables to physically connect the PC to the device:

- DKU-2
- CA-53

Carbide uses plug-and-play (PnP) to create a remote connection for the phone or target device once it's plugged in. Once a remote connection is created the Remote Connections view appears in Carbide. In addition, the current available connection is shown in the workspace's lower-right trim area.

NOTE PC Suite or Ovi Suite must be installed on your PC for the following steps to work.

#### Setting up a USB Connection for On-device Debugging

1. Connect the USB connectivity cable to your PC and then the phone or target device
2. On the phone or target device, select PC-Suite from the USB Mode options when asked
3. In Carbide.c++, verify the current available connection is shown in the Remote Connections view or the indicator in the trim area
