To have your headless application start up on poweron you need to create a service. Create a file in /etc/systemd/system/yourapp.service
[Unit]
Description=Run an application on the i.MX6
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/your_app_or_script
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If you depend on networking you should add "After=network.target" in the Unit section. Once you have this file in place add it to startup with:
# Start your app on bootup, but will not start it now
systemctl enable yourapp.service
# Start your app now, but doesn't change auto startup
systemctl start yourapp.service
Note: | See the systemd documentation for in depth documentation on services. |
To have a graphical application startup change the file: /usr/bin/mini-x-session
At the end of the script replace matchbox-terminal with your application:
matchbox-terminal&
exec matchbox-window-manager
Keep the exec statement before your application. If your process ends then X11 will stop with it.
