Intel Edison

Procedure to Autostart the Arduino Sketch on Edison

There are many ways to do this, but on Intel Edison I found that the easiest way is using the /etc/init.d directory.

Create a file in /etc/init.d

cd /etc/init.d
vi automateSketch.sh

file content

#!/bin/sh
	exec /sketch/sketch.elf /dev/ttyGS0 /dev/ttyGS0

give permissions to the file

chmod +x /etc/init.d/automateSketch.sh

Now, to make sure this script is executed every time linux boots, issue the following command and wait for the return shown below

start at boot

update-rc.d automateSketch.sh defaults
