Description

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, a command-line tool developed by Google for communicating with and debugging Android devices. Although designed for Android devices, ADB can also be used for debugging and log viewing in some systems based on the Linux kernel.

For example, in the Ubuntu24 system, although serial and SSH are mainly used for debugging and management, the system has ADB service integrated, so ADB can also be used for debugging.
