Question

I am trying to install busy box on panda board which has ICS android kernel

steps are below that I used

1. Downloaded binary file which is supported to the panda board

2. Pushing it into system/busybox/ folder

3. Install the busybox command line tools on the target by executing the following commands on booted filesystem:

                    pc> ./adb shell
                    target$ cd /system/busybox
                    target$ ./busybox --install .
                    target$ ./sh  #here i am getting error like ./sh: precmd: not found
   

4. Save the original sh executable by renaming it, and then create a soft-link to busybox sh:

    target$ cd /system/bin
    target$ mv sh sh.android
    target$ ln -s /system/busybox/sh sh 
   

5. After that Export

   export PATH=$PATH:/system/busybox:/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

I want to make Busybox shell as default shell so I can run script on Panda board, but I am getting error in 3rd step that I have mentioned there.

Answer 1

The precmd error seems to be due to the prompt. Try resetting the prompt, by doing:

$ unset PS1 PROMPT_COMMAND
