How to Automatic Start (Autorun) Script

[doggedly 0]

In Asus Tinker board version one it was easy. It was enough to put the init.asus.sh file in the /system/etc/ directory and grant it permissions. Everything in this file was executed on boot (after the tinkerboard bootlog).

Unfortunately, it doesn't work in Tinkerboard 2.

There is a solution after installing the Magisk package. Daily Job Scheduler mod needs to be added. This is a pretty cool solution that looks like a Linux crontab.

However, I would prefer a more system-level solution, ignoring these types of mods.

Is there any autorun method similar to init.asus.sh / rc.local etc ??

hello @doggedly, 

it should be the same as the first gen (tinker baord/ tinker board s). may i know the steps of how you run the executable on boot?

it doesn't work i did a simple test.
I created init.asus.sh in /system/etc/ (same as in generation 1) to do something simple:

#!/system/bin/sh
touch /sdcard/test.txt

The file has chmod + x (see the attachment).
Nothing happens, the file has not been created. Just like my scripts don't run, they run and run on startup in generation one. What they do doesn't matter. In my opinion, the asus.init.sh autostart routine does not work.

So I repeat the question how to do autorun without the Magisk mod.

hello @doggedly, 

the reason why the scripts weren't excuted is because it requires Init-launched services in Android 10:
