Application auto-start at boot on WP8548(Firmware release14)

1

Hello, I want to start my application at boot by using /etc/init.d/Startlegato.sh.
The problem is that only my application doesn’t start at boot.
(=In the following case, test.txt is generated, but my application doesn’t start.)

・The application is called from the shell scrypt I made for the test.(test.sh)
・I set command “/etc/init.d/test.sh” to /etc/init.d/Startlegato.sh.
・test.sh includes other command like “touch /home/root/test.txt”

I prepared the application by the following steps:
・ Bulid the application with VM on windows PC
(VM:Orange - mangOH Dev using Legato 18.09.0 on Ubuntu 18.04)
・ Copy it to /home/root on WP8548 by SSH.
・ Grant an authority (666) to the application.

After the preparation above, I checked the application can be started by inputting the command “/home/root/[app name]” or /etc/init.d/test.sh on legato.

Please guide me in this regards.

you can see here that no problem is found on WP76 R9:

Sorry for the late reply, and Thank you for your information.
I use startlegato.sh on WP8548 like the following.
“touch in test.sh” works, but my application “/home/root/ctrl_gpio” doesn’t work.

I want to start ctrl_gpio by using startlegato.sh at boot.
(ctrl_gpio simply changes the value of a particular GPIO pin. )

If you have any ideas, Could you give any advice?

--startlegato.sh---
 LEGATO_START=/mnt/legato/start

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo "Legato start sequence"
        $LEGATO_START              
        etc/init.d/test.sh

--test.sh---
/home/root/ctrl_gpio 33 1 100 &

touch /home/root/test_.txt

Try to start a new shell and add a delay

–startlegato.sh—
LEGATO_START=/mnt/legato/start

case “$1” in
start)
echo “Legato start sequence”
$LEGATO_START
etc/init.d/test.sh &

–test.sh—

sleep 10
/home/root/ctrl_gpio 33 1 100 &

touch /home/root/test_.txt

Thank you for your additional information.
I understand that you mean I must consider the time for creating a path to the app.
I tried it but only my app still doesn’t start.

Are there any point I have to check?

  • Authority for the app or making symbolic link to a particular directory?
    -Otherwise, I misunderstand how to build the app?
    But, the application starts by using command after logging in to legato.
    So, I wonder why the app doesn’t start when I use startlegato.sh.

how about building an unsandboxed helloworld legato application and inside calling your application ctrl_gpio by system("/home/root/ctrl_gpio 33 1 100 \n"); ?

By using startlegato.sh, only “helloworld” can starts.
I built “helloworld” on mangoh VM.

int main(void){
printf(“hello,world!\n”);
return 0;
}

However, with the following source, ctrl_gpio doesn’t start.

int main(void){
	printf("hello,world!\n");
	system("/home/root/ctrl_gpio 33 1 50 &");
	return 0;
}

Actually, I use shared shared object (/home/root/lib.so) built on mangoh VM.
I also grant an authority (777) to the application and I can call ctrl_gpio by command on legato.
So, I think the cause of this trouble happens when I use lib.so and startlegato.sh.
Are there any rules that I should use for using a shared object in this case?

I am saying to build this helloworld by unsandboxed legato application

Sorry, I misunderstood your advice.
Actually, I am not familiar with unsandboxed legato application, but I will look for how to build as unsandboxed legato application and try it!
