Autostart new program & Can-Utils

[UnitreeCan]

Good day,

I am currently working on an internship project to control the Go1 EDU with a Canbus joystick. I managed to get this working properly by writing Python and C++ code using Can-utils with a USB-to-Can converter and executing it from my laptop using the legged SDK. I can move and control the robot like i want to.

The next step in this project was to let the robot do this independently from my laptop and run the code when starting up. But i am not sure how to exactly go about this on the raspberry pi. Furthermore, i am concerned of haphazardly changing stuff on the raspberry without having a backup (are backups available somewhere?)

Is it possible to install Can-utils and add a program to startup without negatively affecting the robot?

I am sorry if this is a stupid question, and thank you for your time.
