hi,

i would like to modify the start_up_demo_launcher.sh script as well as the weston.ini file so that my application is started instead of the STM demo application. i would then like to add these files to my own distribution package so that i can flash the eval board w/ it.

can someone tell me where i can find these files in an STM download package so that i can build my own image to flash?

thanks,

vince

    hi olivier,

    thank you for you response. however, my question was not about how to add to my application to the demo launcher but how to replace it w/ my own. i would like to remove all of the components that make up the demonstration application and put in my own application. is there an article that describes how i can setup my own autolaunch scripts that i can deploy to the A7? i would like to be able to create my own start_up_demo_launcher.sh and my own weston.ini file.

    thanks,

    vince

    Hi @vbuon.1​ ,

    Sorry, reply to fast and was confused by your title.

    Did you get and are you familiar with Yoco distribution package ?

    Once Distribution installed please look :

    layers/meta-st/meta-st-openstlinux/recipes-st/images/st-image-weston.bb

    -> adding the package-group st-demo to its configuration

    layers/meta-st/meta-st-openstlinux/recipes-st/packagegroups/packagegroup-st-demo.bbappend

    -> asking for recipe demo-launcher to be execute

    layers/meta-st/meta-st-openstlinux/recipes-samples/demo/demo-launcher.bb

    -> recipe for demo-launcher

    layers/meta-st/meta-st-openstlinux/recipes-graphics/wayland/weston-init/weston.ini

    -> weston.ini customization to call demo-launcher script at start.

    So the basic approach would be to create a customize image following the model of "st-image-weston" replacing demo-launcher by your own application.

    Following links can give useful pointers :

    Hope it help,
