3. upload a busybox tool to the google android emulator, you can find a busybox binary on benno's website: busybox for android , you can also find the cross-compiler (select ARM GNU/Linux, and IA32 GNU/Linux) and create a busybox tool by yourself.

# adb push filename /target_folder/filename
the target_folder is the folder on the file system of google android emulator. e.g. /system/bin/
put the busybox to /system/bin, so you can see busybox tool in the extracted file system.
5. open a google android shell command window:
# adb shell
