Is there a simple way to start a bash script on boot of the device? I'm finding that common linux solutions aren't working on yocto.

Thanks!

@Henry-Cappel The easiest way is with a systemd service that lives in `/etc/systemd/system`

If you go to that directory on VOXL you can see a bunch of examples of how we do it.

Once you have a `$SERVICE_NAME.service` file created, you can enable it to run on boot with:
`systemctl enable $SERVICE_NAME`

or disable it from running on boot with
`systemctl disable $SERVICE_NAME`
