Included pre-built applications
The sources for the included applications can be found in the software folder on the
LxNETES CD.
Shell applications: busybox
The “busybox” includes all standard shell applications like “cat”, “chmod”, “echo”,
“mount”, “sh” and some more. They are linked into one static application to save flash
memory, at the cost of a larger RAM footprint for each application, so this is not
recommended for daemons. LxNETES has stripped off the less important applications in
order to obtain a small busybox binary.
Telnet daemon: utelnetd
Utelnetd is a small telnet daemon. It is launched by “init”. For login use the Telnet on our
host computer to connect to the target.
You don’t need to provide username or password.
Web server: Boa
Boa is a small single-tasking HTTP server. The configuration file “boa.conf” is located in
the “/etc/boa/” directory on the target. It can be modified on the host system. There it is
located in “base_rootfs/etc/boa/” in the source directory.
Debug server: gdbserver
With gdbserver it is possible to debug on a remote machine while the debugger itself runs
on the host system.
