Connecting to Tizen TV via the Tizen IDE or sdb

Question

I assume Samsung forums devoted to Tizen would the the first place to resolve this issue but after reading through them it seems that nobody has succeeded with this and the support has not provided any valuable information either so I'll just hope that there are some SO users working with Tizen TVs who have encountered and maybe solved this themselves.

I am trying to connect to a Tizen Smart TV from the Tizen IDE to deploy a native application. As far as I understand this functionality is quite new and supported only in recent firmware releases. I've updated to the latest firmware (1411) but still neither the Tizen IDE (namely the Connection Explorer component) neither the native sdb command line tool seem to work ( I've described the behavior in detail in this post to the Samsung Tizen forum).

The sdb tool seems to fail with any command other than sdb connect. Connection seems to succeed but after that any other command like sdb dlog or sdb shell simply print that the connection has been closed. Wireshark also approves this - every TCP message gets a CLSE reply.

Is there anyone on SO who has successfully deployed a native application via the developer mode on a Tizen Smart TV and could share the recipe?

Answer 1

I had the same problem: when I tried to connect to Samsung Smart TV from Tizen SDK or sdb, It didn´t work.

For me, the solution was to define in the Samsung Smart TV ip config the IP from the Macbook where I am running the Tizen SDK (according to the recomendation in this link)

So, in my private network the Samsugn Smart TV was on ip 192.168.0.102, and the Notebook was on ip 192.168.0.103

I opened the developer mode in Samsugn Smart TV, it was ON and I change there the IP to 192.168.0.103 (It was the private Macbook ip)

After that, the sdb command and SDK work and my demo app is running on the Smart TV:

$ sdb connect 192.168.0.102:26101
connecting to 192.168.0.102:26101 ...
connected to 192.168.0.102:26101

My software and hardware versions are Samsung (JU6500) and Tizen SDK Version : 2.4.0_Rev7

I hope it answer could help you, may be you have the same problem... It tooks me a lot of time find this solution...

adding your workstation's ip to the TV's hosts is a must. on the tv, go to apps, put focus on my apps and click 1,2,3,4,5 on the RCU. a pop up message with ip input comes up. enter your workstation's ip and reboot the tv (turn off, turn on) try to reconnect, good luck
