Hello @karu2003 ,
If you can see the GTK demo launcher on your board, and you want to add your own one on it, please follow this article : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/GTK_demo_launcher#How_to_add_a_new_demo_application

I don't have GTK demo launcher. I need python , scipy , pandas, qt and ... for work.

@karu2003 ,
So can you please precise what do you call "a dekstop shortcut" in the context of the STM32MP1 ?
If you want to automatically launch an application at the start of the board, you can create a service working with systemd (see systemd documentation).

As another solution, you can also place a launching script in /etc/profile.d/ that is a specific folder where each script inside will be run after the start of the platform.

Kind regards,
Erwan.

I need shortcut on the screen so that I can launch it by clicking on the screen. Without creating a QT or other GUI. I haven't gotten around to automatic start yet.

So you want to just listen to a screen touch and then launch your application (I mean when you touch anywhere on the screen, not on an icon) ?
