Start QT Application on bootup on an Embedded Linux Device (Beaglebone Black)












3















Below is picture of the display on bootup. Expected display is overwritten by Angstrom screen



enter image description here



Expected Display



enter image description here



Application is been started as a service. Below is the content of the service file



[Unit]
Description=QTAccelerometer GUI
After=systemd-user-sessions.service

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/root/projects/qt-projects
ExecStart=/home/root/projects/qt-projects/QTAccelerometer -qws
SyslogIdentifier=QTAccelerometer
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
Alias=display-manager.service


Below are the other options tried without success



[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
WantedBy=graphical.target


The system sometimes boots up as expected. When the issue occurs the expected screen splashes followed by the Angstrom screen. Then the dynamic widget update the screen but the static information is not visible.



Any thoughts as to how to fix this issue?
