Recently, I encountered the problem of installing software on the development board. Since the Android system on the development board does not have the tools to parse the apk file, I cannot install the software by directly opening the apk file. Therefore, after searching various information, I found that you can use the adb tool, so that you can install software on your Android device on your computer.
ADB is the bridge that connects Android phones and PCs, so ADB is also called the Android debugging bridge, which allows users to perform comprehensive operations on their phones on the computer!
