Connecting to Tizen TV via the Tizen IDE or sdb

I assume Samsung forums devoted to Tizen would the the first place to resolve this issue but after reading through them it seems that nobody has succeeded with this and the support has not provided any valuable information either so I'll just hope that there are some SO users working with Tizen TVs who have encountered and maybe solved this themselves.

I am trying to connect to a Tizen Smart TV from the Tizen IDE to deploy a native application. As far as I understand this functionality is quite new and supported only in recent firmware releases. I've updated to the latest firmware (1411) but still neither the Tizen IDE (namely the Connection Explorer component) neither the native sdb command line tool seem to work ( I've described the behavior in detail in this post to the Samsung Tizen forum).

The sdb tool seems to fail with any command other than sdb connect. Connection seems to succeed but after that any other command like sdb dlog or sdb shell simply print that the connection has been closed. Wireshark also approves this - every TCP message gets a CLSE reply.

Is there anyone on SO who has successfully deployed a native application via the developer mode on a Tizen Smart TV and could share the recipe?

adding your workstation's ip to the TV's hosts is a must. on the tv, go to apps, put focus on my apps and click 1,2,3,4,5 on the RCU. a pop up message with ip input comes up. enter your workstation's ip and reboot the tv (turn off, turn on) try to reconnect, good luck
