Yes, sure QML works, as most other Qt subsystems in BB

What do you mean by “beagle target”?, is ti wrt the application, the Qt libs, the OS distro, all of them, what?

I just started working with the QT Quick develop release and there is embedded device targets mentioned. I am assuming a standalone qt app can be created that can be booted from the device?

Actually no, you still need to have an operating system underneath (linux or windows ce) to be able to use a Qt embedded application

Just search elinux.org or use google to get detailed information on how to compile Qt for your target platform (probably linux is your best option), then add the compiled libs that you application needs to the library path and copy your application

As it seems that you are really starting on this, probably it will be easier for you to just get OE or Angstrom and install the Qt support libs

Hi Mark,

Please see TI Qt wiki for details:

Cheers.

Thanks guys, that’s helpful. The end result I’m aiming for is similar to a video I seen where they had an embedded device running meego displaying engine management data on a 7 inch lcd. I want it to start running my app upon powerup.

I installed Qt Sdk on my host and see that it can compile for desktop and embedded target from the gui. to use narcassis, what’s the minimum I need to run gl Qt apps on the beagle xm?

As I continue to investigate the best approach to suit my needs, I ran across something is the docs folder of “qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2”.

“Embedded Linux”
“Qt for Embedded Linux is designed to be used on Linux devices without X11 or existing graphical environments. This flavor of Qt includes a framework for creating both applications and an environment for them. As a result, it includes features for window management, inter-process communication and facilities for handling input and display devices.”

Does this mean it will create my ROOTFS, uboot, and uImage as it builds my app? I noticed that after I compose a small example on QT Designer and click the debugger tool, it allows me to choose a desktop, emulated embedded devices, or actual target device.

While reading through “http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Building_Qt#Building_Qt.C2.A0” and “http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Building_Qt_for_OMAP35xx_with_OpenGL_ES_accelerated_by_SGX”, I wonder due to the dates they were edited if the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2 has those procedures incorporated already.

Is anyone aware of docs that outline the process of setting up a build target for the BBxm?

For my ideal beaglexm use, I’d like to have the ability to do most of the creation/building from the QT GUI and build my application directly to my BB. Am I studying the correct stuff? :slight_smile:

thanks,
Mark

I found this resource, http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Using_Qt_4.7 which I think is closer match to what I want to do.\
