I have developed a C application and I am also using a Yocto_MiniDisplay, which prints some messages from the application.

I need to start the application on System Start up, so that on the display it shows "Welcome".

I am unable to start the application automatically on system startup.
I am also using a virtualhub application for yoctopuce devices.

Please Help me its really urgent.

  • Please, if it is urgent, give us more information about the problem. What is the exact problem? Why doesn't it start on startup? – hytromo Aug 06 '13 at 09:20

  • So, have you tried adding a small interval at the beginning? I mean, notice how long it takes for the LCD devices to initialize, then add a corresponding timeout. After this timeout launch your program. – hytromo Aug 06 '13 at 10:18

  • You open the "Startup Applications" program and at the Command field you place: bash -c 'sleep 10 && yourprogram' . This will wait for 10 seconds and then it will execute yourpogram. – hytromo Aug 07 '13 at 11:55
  • i have tried that also . but the problem i am facing is , the device ie, Yocto -display (which is connected through usb port) is not initializing. how we could initiate an usb device at the start up. – Aditya Suku Raghav Aug 08 '13 at 05:27
