This blog post provides a guide on how to debug web pages on the Nokia 8110 (KaiOS) using Chrome OS with Crostini (m75 or later). It builds upon a previous post about using Web IDE for debugging KaiOS devices but focuses on using a Chrome OS environment. The guide outlines the necessary steps, including enabling Crostini USB support, installing required packages like USB tools, ADB, and Fastboot, and configuring udev rules to allow Chrome OS to recognize the Nokia 8110. The post includes commands for installing dependencies and verifying device connectivity.
I created Quick LogCat, a web tool for debugging Android devices without needing adb installed. It uses WebADB.js and the WebUSB API to connect to your device and display logcat output. The tool is useful for on-the-go debugging. It's powerful but also highlights the potential security implications of granting web access to USB devices. This technology opens up exciting possibilities like firmware updates and app sideloading via web interfaces. I'm curious to see what others build with WebUSB and adb access.
Debugging web pages on the Nokia 8110 (KaiOS) can be tricky due to the lack of traditional developer tools. This post outlines the steps I used to successfully debug, involving enabling Developer Mode on the phone, forwarding a port using adb, and connecting to the phone's runtime via Firefox 48's Web IDE.
