Set PATH during uClinux kernel boot

I'm running uClinux on the DE2 board. I've added detail in my design to include an SD card. I mount the SD card in the rc file. This allows me to easily add user files the the uClinux file system....

What is your shell?

For bash, the files .bashrc or .bash_profile (something like that) get sourced at startup, so you can put

export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/sd/bin

in that file. Or you can first check if /mnt/sd/bin exists ...

if [ -e /mnt/sd/bin ]; then

export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/sd/bin

fi;

(No guarantees that this is valid bash code, you can Google for the correct syntax)

Cheers,
