PC Apps
Forgive me if this is not the right page for stuff like this. nookdevs has been a great resource for me, and would like to give my contribution in appreciation.
Not sure if this is useful... but I like to push content on to my nook from the PC without bothering with usb cords. I have created some bash code for the personal computer that will do this. Simply copy and paste it into a file. Name it and give the correct permissions and away you go. There is some configurations but that is all explained. Simply call the script and specify the files on the argument list, and all should be pushed onto the nook.
The script has the following requirements on the PC/Network
1) The PC has the android SDK installed
2) The PC must have a BASH shell running (linux, Mac, and Windows with cygwin)
3) The PC and Nook are in the same network subnet (ie same Local Area Network), not sure if adb works over NAT (routers) never really tried but I don't recommend it. I doubt the android sdk was meant for remote development.
The script has requirements on the Nook
1) Nook is turned on
2) Nook is connected to the wireless router
3) Nook has adb up and running (its been rooted)
Example of typical usage:
user:~>file_1 file_2 /path/to/file_3 connected to 192.168.0.102:5555 375 KB/s (62242 bytes in 0.161s) 475 KB/s (42242 bytes in 0.061s) 275 KB/s (82242 bytes in 0.261s) user:~>
Configuration notes
1) I assume you have all hacked your nook and have adb installed on your personal computer. You will need to specify the path to that in the script (see comments in the script on where to do that)
2) Make sure you edit in the IP address of your nook. Unless you like editing text files, it is a good idea to assign the nook a static IP in the DHCP server. This way the nook will always have the same IP and this script will always work.
The script:
#! /bin/bash
# Add the path to the adb tool in the quotations
ADB="/path/to/adb"
# this is where the content is placed, it is the equivalent of the my documents folder
# the expansion card is simply "/sdcard/"
NOOK_HOME="/system/media/sdcard/my documents/"
# INSERT NOOK IP in the quotations below
# Assigning nook a static IP on the DHCP table is needed
# to avoid constant updating of this file every time the IP changes
NOOK_IP="IP ADDRESS ie 192.168.0.100"
# Try to connect to the device
$ADB connect $NOOK_IP
# tests to see if we are connected
if [ "$?" -ne "0" ] ; then
exit ;
fi
# Adds each file specified on the command line
for i in "$@" ; do
# Note that the path name is stripped from the arguments,
# so any sub folders will not be copied, it will all be placed at top level
$ADB push $i "$NOOK_HOME${i##*/}" ;
done
# disconnect from the device
$ADB disconnect
Some notes:
The script doesn't always work first time. It is usually problems with connecting to the device. Just try it multiple times. Ocasionally starting and stopping adb on the nook was required. Then in extreme events it requires reseting the nook wireless connection by forcing a reconnect on the nook and/or restarting the router itself.
The script is meant for any POSIX environment (ie Linux, MAC, etc.). Windows users you will have to run cygwin or something similar to use this script. Sorry, but I am a Linux man.
- that's not really useful to me personally, but to add to requirements - adb needs to be running over wifi. As of late 2.4.x softroot that's disabled by default. There's samba server ported to android (i dont have url but it comes up on top in google). I think it would be more beneficial to get that running on nook. I would move it to your Talk page. --Spec 08:23, 6 December 2010 (PST)
