Auto launch built-in command

[[e-mail] [nuttx]]

I have a built-in command that I wrote and have tested as working. I would like to have this built-in command automatically run after nuttx boots. Is there a way to launch the program from an init shell script or similar?


Thanks,
Mike


PS - I am pretty sure I asked this question here once and got back a couple of responses but I can not find them with Yahoo search or even looking at my messages so I apologize for repeating.

You probably want an NSH start-up script. This is pretty well documented in the NSH user manual:

http://nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttShell.html

specifically:

http://nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttShell.html#startupscript
http://nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttShell.html#custonshlib
http://nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttShell.html#custinit

$ ls configs/sim/include/
board.h etc.tar.gz nsh_romfsimg.h README.txt

That last README.txt file might also have some information of interest to you.

I suppose that the very simplest thing you could to would be to just all task_create() in your board bringup or board_app_initialize() logic. That is very simple but less flexible.

Greg,

Thank you very much for your detailed responses. I think I've got it working now based on one of your responses, I've replaced the nuttx shell with my built-in user space application. This is working great thus far.


Next I need to figure out how to access GPIO from this user space application. I'm assuming that I can use the GPIO driver for this. If you've got a hint there I'd appreciated it! If I can't figure it out I probably make another post soon with the specific topic.


Kind Regards,
Mike


PS - If anyone knows why I can not see all my Yahoo posts using the Groups's "Action->My Messages" I'd sure like to know. "Action->My Messages" only displays a few of my posts from Jul 2017. Weird.

Apparent success. Simply using the gpio driver calls such as gpio_direction_out() and gpio_set_value() from the user space program allow it to turn on/off the LEDs. Thanks again Greg.

Hi Mike,

Calling gpio functions directly violates the kernel/userspace layer.
It will work on FLAT mode, but will not work on Protected and Kernel
mode.

I explained how to use it on my video tutorial #011:
