Hi Lemmy,

I am trying to install Lineage OS on Chromecast. The documentation talks something about route access (I ignored it, assuming I don't have to route my device)

** My question **

I enabled USB debugging, tried:

adb devices 

my PC wouldn't recognise the Chromecast. I did some research online, and discovered that we need to have WiFi debugging enabled to use adb after the android 14 update, is it true/compulsory to enable the same? If yes, is there a docs or guide I can follow?

My setup: PC: Linux Mint 22.3 Zena

Chromecast: Chromecast with Google TV

Thanks in advance

PS: I am not a developer, I know some coding and work in data science. Please correct me if I said something wrong.

Wifi debugging is a couple of settings below USB debugging, called wireless debugging

My question is, is it compulsory to enable the same?

I don't know, but I found this. I suppose you can find a guide somewhere
