Fail finding Android Serial number

[GrandAnd]

Hi!

I'm new to both this forum and topic.

I have a computer with a local server on it and TestStand as well. It's connected with Ethernet cable via a router to a Android unit (also with Eternet cable). When I open up "Teststand - Simple UI" and run "Test UUT" it fetches test scenarios from the local server and then it asks me for Serial number to the Android unit. I write the correct number but it doesn't find it.

When I do the same procedure but with Windows 10 OS instead of Android, it works. There is of course differences between the 2 units; ARM vs x86 for example.

So I wonder:

• Do teststand work with Android/ARM architecture?
• If so, how can I make it read the serial number?

Best regards,

Hi GrandAnd,

TestStand doesn't have any inherent Android API, so it makes sense that the code cannot find the Android Serial Numbers but is able to do the same for Windows 10.

As such, I would suggest either:

• Looking to see if you can find an Android API in C or Python, and use that to find the Serial Number.
• Using an identifier that won't need an API to read, such as the device's MAC Address in place of a Serial Number.
