I recently got an Android Thing kit with NXP i.MX7D board. I tried to follow the instruction to flash the board with Android and found a glitch which I have not found a solution yet.

I'm running Windows 10 PC and when I plugged the board Devices Manager detected the device as Android ADB Interface.

But when I tried to check the command line and use adb devices, the adb does not detect any device.

Is there any extra software or plug-ins which I need to install to develop Android Things on Windows?

[update]: I managed to change the driver to Google's driver, but still not detected.

I tried plugging in my Nexus 6P and I can see my phone on the adb devices.

Any help on Android Things is much appreciated.

When you first take the board out of the box, it is only loaded with the fastboot bootloader. There is no Android software running on it until you complete the flashing instructions. Until this has been done, the ADB command will not work.

After you plug in the board, what do you see running the fastboot devices command? If the board is listed here, then the bootloader is active and it is ready to flash:

$ fastboot devices
1b2f21d4e1fe0129        fastboot

Execute the flash-all script provided with the downloaded image to get Android Things onto the board.
