How can I integrate a software into the firmware?

[tpxcer]

I have successfully compiled the firmware, and now I need to integrate a software into the firmware.（I mean integrating into the firmware during compilation.）
I think I need to modify the code of the web page to add an entry point for the software, and then find a place to put the software executable file in the packaging directory.

However, I am not familiar with the directory structure of the source code, and I have not found any documentation. Can anyone help me?"

I have already read this wiki, but it does not contain the information I need.

That isn't something that can be explained in a single forum post. It requires you to become more familiar with the software infrastructure.

Right, I plan to gradually learn and consult specific questions when I encounter them.

Which “a software” do you want to integrate?

Nothing yet... Just pulled a pretty recent GitHub commit from master branch

Some commits i can build but some give me this error message. But maybe you re suggesting to ask in a other thread? Or maybe i misunderstand you. I wanted to try and figure out from which version i (and other people) get issues with perm arp

My question was supposed to be directed to the original poster of this thread…

(Probably should have replied to the first instead of the last post in this thread)
