Can we start running an OpenVX application automatically at Linux Boot

    In order to start an OpenVX application automatically during Linux boot, you could call the application in a service.

    Please follow the below steps to achieve this

    Step 1: Boot the EVM and login as 'root'

    Step 2: Create a shell script in which you call the executable for your application along with its dependencies

    (A sample shell script (appl.sh) is as shown below which loads the TIDL demo)

    /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/1132/1856.appl.sh

    Step 3: Save this shell script in /etc/init.d/

    Step 4: Create a Systemd Unit File in /lib/systemd/system/ as shown below

    sudo vi /lib/systemd/system/application.service

    Step 5: Add the following contents and save the file

    [Unit] Description=My Shell Script

    [Service] ExecStart=/etc/init.d/appl.sh

    [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

    Step 6: Enable the new service as shown below

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload

    sudo systemctl enable application.service

    sudo systemctl start application.service

    Step 7: Verify the script is up and running with the below command

    sudo systemctl status application.service

    ==============================

    The output should look like below
