Re: [agl-dev-community] afm-util run not running my application #automotive #help

["Jose Bollo" <jose.bollo@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Vele,

Applications have to manage 2 directories:
 - the root directories is intended to be like read only and contains
   the installed files
 - the working directory where living application put its read write
   data

afb-daemon provides the environment variable AFB_ROOTDIR to retrieve
the first one.

Hope it helps
Best regards
José Bollo
