Embedded devices are often expected to run a single application(maybe a Kiosk) forever. Such applications have to be started immediately after or just before logging in to the device.<\/p>\n

This article guides you to launch your application on eSOMiMX6<\/a> start-up.<\/p>\n

For launching an application on start-up, the run levels and RC scripts have to be configured.<\/p>\n

rc script contains start-up instructions for a program. These scripts are executed automatically at system start-up every time.<\/p>\n

The run level is nothing but a mode of operation in the OS(run level 0 stands for Shut down while run level 6 stands for the reboot ). The eSOMiMX6 device contains few scripts that run at the startup of the current run level.<\/p>\n

Each run level has few scripts in its dedicated directory(rcX.d where X is between 0 to 6) that will be executed after entering into that run level. The application you wanna execute at the startup shall be mentioned in such a script.<\/p>\n

Now reboot the device. Your application gets executed at start-up.<\/p>\n

Please refer our previous article How to build, deploy and run Qt applications on eSOMiIMX6 devices<\/a> to run the application on eSOMiMX6<\/a> devices at the start-up.<\/p>\n

Please visit our developer website to know get step by step instructions to launch an application at startup on the\u00a0eSOMiMX6<\/a>\u00a0device(s).<\/p>\n
