Connect a Galaxy Watch device to a Host PC via Wi-Fi. A wireless access point is needed to connect a Galaxy Watch Device to a Host PC.
Turn on the Wi-Fi.
Turn on debugging mode.
Select Settings > Galaxy Watch Info > Debugging
Reboot the device.
From the Wi-Fi menu of the Galaxy Watch device, find the Wireless Access Point and connect to it.
Once connected, find the IP address that the Galaxy Watch device had received from the Access Point via DHCP. This IP address will be used during the SDB connection.
You can get this IP address by checking the information of the access point of the currently connected Galaxy Watch device.
Now you are ready to connect the SDB in the IDE or command line.
Open the IDE and launch the Remote Device Manager.
Once the Remote Device Manager is open, it will start to scan for devices. Alternatively, click the scan button to scan again.
After scanning, you can find the list of devices that can connect. Select the Galaxy Watch device and click ‘Connect’.
The connected device will be displayed on the Connection Explorer.
Instead of using the IDE, you can connect via the SDB in the command line as well. Open the terminal in the Host PC and use the following connect command.
$ sdb connect [Galaxy Watch IP address]:26101 Ex) $ sdb connect 192.168.0.11:26101
You can see the connected Galaxy Watch device by using SDB devices command.
$ sdb devices List of devices attached 192.168.0.11:26101 device SM-R730A
After connecting, you can install apps or use the shell command line.
Open the terminal in the Host PC and use the following install command.
$ sdb install [path_to_tpk] Ex) $ sdb install /home/tizen/org.example.test-1.0.0-arm.tpk
Once the connection is completed, you can use the SDB command similar to the USB connected case. Please refer to the link below for more details regarding SDB commands. https://docs.tizen.org/application/tizen-studio/common-tools/smart-development-bridge/
Confirm that the SDB version is 2.2.88 or later.
$ sdb version
Try the kill-server command when a version warning message is shown.
$ sdb kill-server
