Re: [lowrisc-dev] Running programs at Linux Startup

Yes, the program executes normally when launched from the shell. I am sharing with you a minimal example: I have the following code in /usr/bin/hello: > #!/bin/ash -e > echo "Hello World" > echo "Hello World" > /test.txt > exit 0 and the inittab file contains: > ::sysinit:/bin/busybox mount -t proc proc /proc > ::sysinit:/bin/busybox mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp > ::sysinit:/bin/busybox --install -s > /dev/console::sysinit:-/bin/ash > user::sysinit:./usr/bin/hello But the hello program doesn't execute at startup. Could you please figure out what's wrong here?

If not it is probably an issue with libraries not being linked in, or reliance on shared libraries which are not present in the boot environment The last line of the inittab is where the shell is launched. You could put your program there instead of /bin/ash, but it's environment will be restricted. If you want a fuller experience, upgrade to the v0.5 release which allows you to compile on the FPGA and do the usual things (rather slowly).

I have tried a few methods to launch the program for e.g. modifying the "inittab" file, and to use /etc/rc.local etc, but nothing seems to work. > > Please share your experiences or ideas how to automatically launch programs at Linux startup. > > > Thanks and regards, > > Imran Wali > Postdoctoral Researcher > ARIES Research Center > Nebrija University >
