How do I run a python script on boot on Google Coral?

I have written a simple test code in python to toggle two of the I/O pins on and off every few seconds. I would like to be able to run this code whenever the board powers on so that I don't need to bring a keyboard, mouse, and monitor everywhere I want to run the simple test. How do I do this on Mendel OS on a google coral?

Solution

  • On Mendel OS, your systemd service should look like this:

    myservice.service:

    [Unit]
Description=Example systemd service.
After=weston.target

[Service]
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
PAMName=login
Type=simple
User=mendel
WorkingDirectory=/home/mendel
ExecStart=/bin/bash /usr/bin/test_service.sh
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

    Regarding how to create a service and how to deploy it, you can follow this article.

    Change 'ExecStart' line with your python file that you want to get executed.
