Installing BusyBox on the device

  • Download the latest source from http://www.busybox.net/download.html
  • Do a
    make menuconfig
  • In the menu Busybox Settings --->Build Options ---> enable the point "Build BusyBox as a static binary (no shared libs)"
  • Exit the configuration
  • Compile busy box with
    make
    or with
    CPPFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 make
    if you're compiling on a x86_64 system for a 32 bit machine
  • Copy the busybox to your device
  • Install it with
    ./busybox --install
    (this didn't work on my device, due to read only mounted /system partition
