[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 08.png|400px|border|center]]<!--== Automatic configuration == Now it is necessary to add the definition of your board before developing and compiling your applications4. In order to add the device information automatically, DAVE provides a simple setup script4. <!-- User just need to run the following commands inside your terminal emulator: <pre>dvdk@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ cd axel/dvdk@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/axel$ ./qt-post-install.sh</pre> If the installation process complete successfully, you should see inside the <code>Tools -> Options -> Kits</code> a ''kit'' named XELK, as in the following screenshot: [[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 09.png|400px|border|center]] Select the Kits tab and make sure that your configurations matches the one displayed below: [[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 101_finish.png|400px|border|center]] -->
== Manual configuration ==
=== Devices ===
Go to <code>Tools -> Options</code> menu :
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 09-4.4.1_tools-options.png|400px1000px|border|center]]
Select <code>Devices</code> and click '''Add''':
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 22-4.4.1_devices-add.png|400px700px|border|center]]
Choose the ''Generic Linux device'':
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 23-4.4.1_devices-linux-device.png|400px500px|border|center]]
Insert the IP address of your device, ''root'' as username and leave password empty (this is the default configuration of XELK root file systems). Make sure that the device is connected to the network and your virtual machine networking is correctly configured (see [[VirtualBox Network Configuration|this]] article for more details).
Then click '''Next''': [[File:QtCreator-4.4.1_devices-linux-device-EVK.png|600px|border|center]] The device will be created and the connectivity will be tested:
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 24-4.4.1_devices-linux-device-EVK-connect.png|400px600px|border|center]]
If everything went ok you should see a dialog like the image below.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 25-4.4.1_devices-linux-device-EVK-test.png|400px500px|border|center]]
And finally , this is how what the <code>Devices</code> window should look like.

=== GCC & Cross Compilation ===
Next you need to configure the cross compilation tool inside <code>Build & Run -> Compiler</code>.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 27-4.4.1_devices-linux-build-and-run.png|400px800px|border|center]]
Click <code>Add -> GCC</code> and add the compiler path.

</pre>
And click '''Apply'''.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 29-4.4.1_devices-linux-build-and-run-gcc.png|400px1200px|border|center]]
Do the same for the C++ cross compilation tool.
