How to run my app on system boot up

[xuehuili]

I use the P1020RDB-PC and the SDK(1.3.2 fsl-image-minimal), I compil the helloworld.c to a exec file, copy it to nandflash /dev/mtdblock10. My u-boot, uImage, rootfs write to norflsh and boot from it.

I use these command to download and run the app:

$mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock10 ./tmp

$cd tmp

$tftp -g -r hellword 10.10.10.1

$./helloworld

how to configure and rebuild the image for auto run the helloworld on linux boot up?

Add a script that runs your executable in /etc/rc5.d/. The name of the script should start with 'S' followed by a number.
