'How to add a script (bash script) to my linux image developed in yocto?

I develop a script in linux to install packages in a linux image developed in yocto. Currently, I send the .sh script by scp to my device with the linux image, but I want to install directly this script in my linux image and when I boot the device have the .sh file. How can I do this in yocto? I need to create a recipe for this script?

Thanks in advance.

You should create a recipe and a systemd services to enable it a boot time if you want to. The architecture should be like this:

my_script/
??? files
?   ??? my_script.service
?   ??? my_script.sh
??? my_recipe.bb

Your recipe should look like this,

my_recipe.bb:

LICENSE = "CLOSED"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = ""

SRC_URI = "file://myscript.service"

SRC_URI += "file://myscript.sh"

  
inherit systemd

do_install() {

install -Dm0755 ${WORKDIR}/my_script.sh ${D}/usr/bin/my_script.sh
install -Dm0644 ${WORKDIR}/my_script.service ${D}${systemd_system_unitdir}/my_script.service

}


SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "my_script.service"

Of course, this should be in a meta-layer that is already in your conf/bblayers.conf Otherwise create it and add it manually.

@amolina I guess you need add your shell script to /etc/init.d for the purposes of running it on OS boot.

You can inherit update-rc.d class and define INITSCRIPT_NAME/PARAMS in your recipe.
