You need to put a startup script into init.d and set the correct runlevel for booting. To do this, please follow the steps below for the raspberry pi:

   # ssh to your raspberry pi
   wget https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/vhusbdarm
   sudo chmod +x ./vhusbdarm
   sudo mv vhusbdarm /usr/sbin
   wget http://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/scripts/vhusbdpin
   sudo chmod +x ./vhusbdpin
   sudo mv vhusbdpin /etc/init.d
