Git rev: master/5c1c8af083ca7b57cc339d16ce0513b27c5dac90

The neard daemon can not start when boot up:

##################
Starting Linux NFC daemon
/etc/rc5.d/S64neard: line 27: /usr/lib/neard/neard: No such file or directory
##################

I found the neard binary had been moved to /usr/lib/neard/nfc directory.
################
# ls /usr/lib/neard/nfc/neard -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 217468 Mar  2 18:22 /usr/lib/neard/nfc/neard
################

But even I changed the correct path in /etc/init.d/neard script, the daemon still can not start up. I got the following error in /var/log/message:
#############
07:01:40 beaglebone daemon.info neard[663]: NEAR daemon version 0.15

Investigation started.
Comment 2 Cristian Iorga 2015-03-04 11:28:31 UTC 
Hello, can you please add the BSP/machine/target/image?
Also, how neard/JNFC feature was added to the image?

Thanks,
Cristian

I only tested it on beaglebone black. I will try other bsps later.
Comment 4 Ross Burton 2015-03-05 15:33:39 UTC 
So there's two bugs here:

1) init script is broken
2) meta-yocto BSPs don't enable NFC.

This bug needs to be split into two - Christian owns (1) and whoever owns the meta-yocto BSPs (Saul right now?) has (2).
