# Setup: Linux or Mac OS host, Android device, arm64 kernel

Prerequisites:
 - go1.8+ toolchain (can be downloaded from [here](https://golang.org/dl/))
 - Android Serial Cable or [Suzy-Q](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/master/docs/case_closed_debugging.md) device to capture console output is preferable but optional. syzkaller can work with normal USB cable as well, but that can be somewhat unreliable and turn lots of crashes into "lost connection to test machine" crashes with no additional info.

 - Build syzkaller

In case you have old Android `/dev/ion` driver:

```sh
cp sys/android/* sys/linux
make generate
```

Then:

```sh
make TARGETOS=linux TARGETARCH=arm64
```

 - Create config with `"type": "adb"` and specify adb devices to use. For example:
```
{
	"target": "linux/arm64",
	"http": "localhost:50000",
	"workdir": "/gopath/src/github.com/google/syzkaller/workdir",
	"syzkaller": "/gopath/src/github.com/google/syzkaller",
	"sandbox": "none",
	"procs": 8,
	"type": "adb",
	"vm": {
		"devices": ["ABCD000010"]
	}
}
```

 - Start `syz-manager -config adb.cfg` as usual.

If you get issues after `syz-manager` starts, consider running it with the `-debug` flag.
