Hi
I am following the steps in https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/sdk_tutorials_en.html#_start_up_script
I am using sdk v2.6.0
but I don't get the autorun of the application.

nsh> ls /etc/init.d/rcS

Hi @mikhailZ

Sorry it took me so long to answer.

In case you're still interested in this subject, I think the documentation of the start up script on the English page is not up to date.
I'll notify internally so the page can be updated.

On the meantime, I followed the steps on the japanese page and it worked.
I'll summarize here the instructions to automatically run the hello example.

1. Go to spresense/sdk and run

$ ./tools/config.py exemplos/hello feature/startup_script

$ make

2. Create a new file in the sdk directory and name it init.rc
   In this file write:

echo Start up hello script
hello

3. Flash the script to spresense using

$ ./tools/flash.sh -w init.rc

4. Flash nuttx.spk using

$ tools/flash.sh -c /dev/ttyUSB0 nuttx.spk

5. Connect to the board and you should see this:

Run /mnt/spif/init.rc.
sh [13:100]

NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-10.2.0
nsh> hello script
Hello, World!!
