usb - How to connect to multiple devices at the same time using adb?

Things I'm using:

• 
  

  PC: MacBook Pro (Late 2013), OS X Yosemite version 10.10.4

  
  


• 
  

  USB: ORICO H7928-U2/U3 USB 3.0

  
  



• 
  

  Smartphones: LG G4, Samsung Galaxy Note 2

  
  


• 
  

  ADB version: 1.0.32

  
  

I'm trying to connect multiple devices and run at the same time under Eclipse IDE by using ADB, but when I connect two devices, one device status is offline or not listed.

  Connection status:

  
  

  pc right usb port ---------- usb hub ---------------- LG G4
                              └--------------------- galgaxy note2

  Command line in terminal:

  
  

  nice7285@SJLIMsMacBook13:/Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/platform-tools$ ./adb devices
  adb server is out of date.  killing... 
  * daemon started successfully * 
  List of devices attached  
  LGxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    device 
  
  



• 
  

  Output when disconnecting all devices from USB hub and reconnecting them:

  
  

  nice7285@SJLIMsMacBook13:/Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/platform-tools$ ./adb kill-server 
  nice7285@SJLIMsMacBook13:/Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/platform-tools$ ./adb devices 
  * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * 
  * daemon started successfully *  
  List of devices attached  
  Galaxyxxxxxxxxxxx    device
  

  
  
  

  or

  
  

  nice7285@SJLIMsMacBook13:/Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/platform-tools$ ./adb devices 
  * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *      
  * daemon started successfully * 
  List of devices attached  
  LGxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    offline 
  Galaxyxxxxxxxxxx    offline
  

What is best way to connect to multiple devices simultaneously?

Answer

This is one example, you have to make the split, it's doesn't seem to be an option,

root@kali:# adb devices
List of devices attached 
4fddcdd8054fc421        device
5cf4b0890675d95c        device

root@kali:# export DEVA=4fddcdd8054fc421 && export DEVB=5cf4b0890675d95c

root@kali:# adb -s $DEVA shell uname -a && adb -s $DEVB shell uname -a


Linux localhost 3.4.0-Mina-my-love-53x--gae7828f #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 31 00:41:26 EDT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
Linux kali 3.4.0-Mina-my-love-33x--gdba1771-dirty #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 6 18:05:16 EDT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@kali:# 

• Export a variable for each device serial.


• adb -s $VAR1 shell && adb -s $VAR2 shell

Note this is done without a hub. It might be the hub throwing things off?

Also apparently you dont need to && when exporting/echoing variables

root@kali:# export DEVA=4fddcdd8054fc421 DEVB=5cf4b0890675d95c
root@kali:# echo $DEVA $DEVB
4fddcdd8054fc421 5cf4b0890675d95c
