Unable to connect to emulator over adb - error emulator: ASC 127.0.0.1:1970: Retrying connection

[Subodh Nijsure]

Hello,

I have built my AOSP system images that I am trying to run using emulator --

I am using latest marshmallow branch, and selected target 'm_e_arm-userdebug'

And I am starting emulator as shown below, $HOME/emu contains all my img files.


ANDROID_BUILD=$HOME/emu/
${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/emulator \
-debug all -show-kernel \
-no-boot-anim \
-verbose \
-sysdir ${ANDROID_BUILD} \
-system ${ANDROID_BUILD}/system.img \
-ramdisk ${ANDROID_BUILD}/ramdisk.img \
-data   ${ANDROID_BUILD}/userdata.img \
-kernel ${ANDROID_HOME}/system-images/android-21/default/armeabi-v7a/kernel-qemu \
-skindir ${ANDROID_HOME}/platforms/android-21/skins \
-skin WVGA800 \
-scale 0.7 \
-memory 2048 \
-partition-size 1024

However my emulator doesn't seem to start and I can't adb shell to it and I see following message:

emulator: Error while connecting to socket '127.0.0.1:1970': 61 -> Connection refused
emulator: ASC 127.0.0.1:1970: Retrying connection. Connector FD = 25

Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? I am running emulator on OSX 10.11 platform.

In case someone runs into this issue.

I changed the way I was starting emulator, instead of using  kernel from ${ANDROID_HOME}/system-images/

android-21/default/armeabi-v7a/kernel-qemu

I switched to using kernel that is build during AOSP emulator build and everything is working on emulator as expected.

I built aosp_x86_64-eng from 5.0 branch, but it hasn't build an emulator.

which emulator

returns

$AOSP_ROOT/prebuilts/android-emulator/linux-x86_64/emulator

does anyone know whats the problem behind this issue?

Regards,

Matthias

Have your tried running emulator binary from official Android SDK and give it parameters where it loads img files that you built?
