Deploying Qt application to Windows Embedded Compact device
-
[Edit: Forked thread --JKSH]
Hello,
I don't know if anyone is still watching this thread, but I am wondering about the specifics on how you are deploying to a Windows Embedded 7 OS. I am trying to do the same this, starting first using a QtSerial example from Qt Creator. The kit I am using is Desktop Qt 5.6.3 minGW 32bit2. I may not have downloaded the right kit or compiler. I ran build in Release mode and it works on my laptop, but when I try it on the Windows Embedded 7 computer a popup says
" 'blockingmaster' is not a valid Windows Embedded Compact application"
I think that I am using the wrong kit, compiler, or somehow need to change the deployment settings. -

This compiler and kit are for x86 CPUs. What CPU does your Windows Embedded Compact device have?
when I try it on the Windows Embedded 7 computer a popup says

First, you need to get a compiler that is compatible with your device. Then, you need to get the Qt source code and use that compiler to build Qt. Finally, use that compiler and your custom-built version of Qt to build your app.

The target CPU is an ARM Cortex A8. If I use the Qt Maintenance Tool which one would I install?
