and click '''Apply'''.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 31-4.4.1_devices-linux-build-and-run-gdb.png|400px1200px|border|center]]
=== Qt Version ===
Next you need to add the Qt Version installed on your devicesdevice. Go to <code>Qt Version</code> click '''Add''' and select the following qmake file.
<pre>

[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 34-4.4.1_devices-linux-build-and-run-EVK.png|400px1200px|border|center]]
After this your setup is complete and you can procede proceed and create your Qt applications.
== Qt application example ==
Now that the setup is finished, you can create your first application
Open a new terminal and source the enviroment environment variables with the command.
<pre>
dvdk@vagrant:~/desk-mx-ubuntul$ source desk-trustymx6-64:~$ l-1.0./env0_env.sh
</pre>
In the same terminal digit type the following command if (we assume you didendidn't change the default installation directory.)
<pre>
dvdk@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ ./qtcreator-4.34.01/bin/qtcreator
</pre>
Now call the name Project ''Test '' and pres press '''Next'''.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 13-4.4.1_new-project-test.png|400px800px|border|center]]
Select the XELK Kit ''SBC AXEL EVK'' and click '''Next'''.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 14-4.4.1_new-project-SBC-AXEL-EVK.png|400px800px|border|center]]
Choose the ''class '' name for your application.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 15-4.4.1_new-project-SBC-AXEL-EVK-class.png|400px800px|border|center]]
Click '''Finish''' to conclude the setup.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 16-4.4.1_new-project-SBC-AXEL-EVK-finish.png|400px800px|border|center]]
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 17-4.4.1_project-Test-MainWindow.png|400px1200px|border|center]]
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 18-4.4.1_project-Test-MainWindow-Pushbutton.png|400px1200px|border|center]]
After that, you need to insert the following two line inside the ''Test.pro'' file
<pre>
target.path = /tmphome/root/Test # path on device</pre><pre>
INSTALLS += target
</pre>
Where <code>/temphome/root/Test</code> is the path in which your application will be dowloaded downloaded inside the device.
[[File:QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 19-4.4.1_project-Test-MainWindow-TestPro.png|1200px|border|center]] Build the project in order to complete the configuration and set the overall vars: [[File:QtCreator-4.4.1_project-Test-MainWindow-Build.png|1200px|border|center]] The last step before running the application inside the device is to configure Qt backend into application command line arguments: open the <code>Project</code> window and select the <code>Run</code> configuration, then type <code>-platform eglfs</code> into <code>Arguments</code> [[File:QtCreator-4.4.1_project-Test-MainWindow-eglfs.png|400px1200px|border|center]]
