25<p>If you are developing on Windows and would like to connect an Android-powered device
26to test your applications, then you need to install the appropriate USB driver. This document
27provides links to the web sites for several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
28where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device. However, this list is
29not exhaustive for all available Android-powered devices.</p>
30
31<p>If you're developing on Mac OS X or Linux, then you probably don't need to install a USB driver.
32To start developing with your device, read <a
33href="{@docRoot}tools/device.html">Using Hardware Devices</a>.</p>
34
35<p>The Google USB Driver is <strong>required for Windows only</strong> in order to perform
36<a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/adb.html">adb</a> debugging with any of
37the <strong>Google Nexus devices</strong>. The one exception is the
38Galaxy Nexus: the driver for Galaxy Nexus is distributed by <a
