WP7608 Legato Application: Invoking shell script with i2ctools

#1

I am trying to invoke the shell script into one of the my legato application which includes i2ctools commands i.e i2cget and i2cset .

if i run the script independently on the board it is working fine and giving the results but i am unable to invoke and execute same script into my legato application. It gives an error stating that i2cget not found . Kindly let me know the necessary steps to be taken care in order to make this work.
using popen()
please find the attached script which is being used for the application.

Not able to find the script. please share the script and also legato application that you have executed with that script?

Hi @karthikR, I wonder if you’re running your application sandboxed.

In this case you would need to mount i2cget, eventual dependencies (libs and devices) to be able to run it.

We have verified in Firmware release 10.1(legato version 18.06.3) by running the i2cget command by using “popen”, command is working fine without any issues. We have used existing “wifiWebApp” application where sandboxed is false.

Below are the logs for your reference:
