The application starting component must be a ghost frame. The initialize section of the starting ghost frame is executed once when the image is loaded and prepared by an ASO. No other events should be in the starting ghost frame; there is no continually running thread within an ASO.

ASOLib must be initialized in the Start Ghost Frame. For more information on how to do this, see OpenROAD Server StartGhost—Sample Script (see OpenROAD Server StartGhost: Sample Script).
