Introduction[edit | edit source]

This application note details QT Creator setup and configuration in DESK-MX6-L MVM

Setting up Qt Creator to build for DESK-MX6-L[edit | edit source]

200px-Emblem-important.svg.png

Note: The version of Qt Creator may differ from images below. The version used is the release is 4.4.1 which can be downloaded form Qt archive server

Qt Creator Installation[edit | edit source]

To install Qt Creator inside your toolchain launch a terminal emulator and run 

dvdk@vagrant:~$ cd desk-mx-l/

dvdk@vagrant:~/desk-mx-l$ ./qt-creator-opensource-linux-x86_64-4.4.1.run

An installation wizard will appear. Clik Next to proced with the installation.

QtCreator-4.4.1 setup.png

Select Skip.

QtCreator-4.4.1 skip.png

Select Next.

QtCreator-4.4.1 next.png

Select the install directory or click Next.

QtCreator-4.4.1 folder.png

Select Next.

QtCreator-4.4.1 components.png

Click Next again.

QtCreator-4.4.1 license.png

And then click Install and complete the installation.

QtCreator-4.4.1 install.png

Then Finish to exit the setup wizard.

QtCreator-4.4.1 finish.png

Manual configuration[edit | edit source]

If you don't want to use the automatic setup or want to customize the configuration, in this section we details all the step required.

Devices[edit | edit source]

Go to Tools -> Options menu:

QtCreator-4.4.1 tools-options.png

Select Devices and click Add:

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-add.png

Choose the Generic Linux device:

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-device.png

Insert the IP address of your device, root as username and leave password empty (this is the default configuration of DESK-MX6-L root file systems). Make sure that the device is connected to the network and your virtual machine networking is correctly configured (see this article for more details).

Then click Next:

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-device-EVK.png

The device will be created and the connectivity will be tested:

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-device-EVK-connect.png

If everything went ok you should see a dialog like the image below.

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-device-EVK-test.png

And finally, this is what the Devices window should look like.

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-device-EVK-configured.png

GCC & Cross Compilation[edit | edit source]

Next you need to configure the cross compilation tool inside Build & Run -> Compiler.

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-build-and-run.png

Click Add -> GCC and add the compiler path. 

/home/dvdk/desk-mx-l/sdk/latest_desk-mx6-l/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc

And click Apply.

QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-build-and-run-gcc.png

Do the same for the C++ cross compilation tool. 

/home/dvdk/desk-mx-l/sdk/latest_desk-mx6-l/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-g++
QtCreator-4.4.1 devices-linux-build-and-run-g++.png

Debugger GDB[edit | edit source]

Now it is necessary to add a debugger. In order to do this go to the Debuggers tab and click Add and then select the GDB debugger at the location 

/home/dvdk/desk-mx-l/sdk/latest_desk-mx6-l/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gdb

and click Apply.

After this your setup is complete and you can proceed and create your Qt applications.

Qt application example[edit | edit source]

Now that the setup is finished, you can create your first application

Open a new terminal and source the environment variables with the command. 

dvdk@vagrant:~/desk-mx-l$ source desk-mx6-l-1.0.0_env.sh

In the same terminal type the following command (we assume you didn't change the default installation directory) 

dvdk@vagrant:~$ ./qtcreator-4.4.1/bin/qtcreator

After that, you need to insert the following two line inside the Test.pro file 

target.path = /home/root/Test # path on device

INSTALLS += target

Where /home/root/Test is the path in which your application will be downloaded inside the device.

The last step before running the application inside the device is to configure Qt backend into application command line arguments: open the Project window and select the Run configuration, then type -platform eglfs into Arguments

After these changes you are ready to debug your application inside your board with the Run/Debug command QtCreator XELK 3 0 0 35.png
