How to change the in built kernel of ti sdk to RUN qt application ?

Hi friends ,

I have developed a QT multithread application, I am having Beagleboard-xM 

I am doing remote debugging and running this application over Ti-sdk kernel.

By adding this following command I can stop the Matrix GUI launcher which is default for Ti-sdk 

/etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 stop 

/etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 start 

while I wanted to run my QT application on the target board as default. 

Will it be possible ? and if YES then do I have to change in kernel ?

I dont have much Idea about core kernel stuff.

Can anyone provide me the pointer for that ?

Help n support Appreciated.

Thanks 

Nilesh

    Hi,

    you have to write a script to start your program and add it /etc/init.d & create a link for it under /etc/rc5.d.

    Sample Script to start a QT5 application (adapt to other qt versions):

    #! /bin/sh


sampleapp="/home/root/sapp"
GUI_OPTS="-platform eglfs"

test -x "$sampleapp" || exit 0

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libqwt6.1rc3QT5

case "$1" in
  start)
	echo -n "Starting sample Program..."
	start-stop-daemon --start --background --exec $sampleapp -- $GUI_OPTS
	;;
  stop)
	echo "Stopping sample Program :("
	;;
  *)
	echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/sampleapp {start|stop}"
	exit 1
esac

    If you put this sampleapp script under /etc/init.d/ then create a softlink for it in /etc/rc5.d/S97sampleapp, the program should start during boot.

    NOTE: S97 was for matrixgui previously so in this case you remove matrixgui link under rc5.d

    hope this helps.
