The steps would be similar for other boards, such as a BeagleBone Black. It is a popular and low-cost board that can be used for embedded applications. That was an excellent suggestion, so here they are.įor this example, I'll use the Raspberry Pi platform.
In our recent Qt For Beginners webinar series (2) it was suggested we present detailed instructions showing how to configure Qt Creator for a common embedded board. It's free, well documented (1), and actively developed.Ĭonfiguring Qt Creator for embedded development is sometimes a stumbling block for our Qt training students and consulting customers.
It provides good support for developing for embedded systems, including cross-compiling, deploying to a target system, debugging and profiling. While it is not the only option, Qt Creator is the integrated development environment (IDE) of choice for Qt.
