Hello Felix,

probably I don't have enough details to give you a complete hint.

However, the solution usually suggested is to create your own recipe, perhaps using "recipetool create" [1] and then adapt its content (this is what I usually explain during my Yocto training courses).

Then you can include in your recipe the installation and the management of a launcher script and its systemd service for example (if you are using systemd) [2].
