I have several identical development systems (Odroid A) which report the same device code, thereby preventing me from using more than one on the same host PC with adb. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way of changing this from the gingerbread GUI on this platform as previously suggested.

The device serial number (as reported by 'adb devices') appears to be set in the kernel, under arch/arm/plat-s5p/devs.c (look for 'device_serial'). This may be different for your device, I'd suggest a grep through the kernel sources for the device ID that is reported by adb devices. Change the string, rebuild the kernel and flash it on...

Looks to be different on ICS by the way...
