How to Cross Compile to IMX8M?
-
Hello, I am new to cross compilations and am trying to figure out how to convert my current Qt Project (Qt 5.9.5) to be able to run on a DART-MXM8, which uses NXP's i.MX8M. The board is running on a linux file system.
I have been reading through the documentation that I have to use the ./configure command for my device with the cross compiler, but am unsure how to do so. Additionally, looking at the list of devices in qtbase/mkspecs/devices, support only went up to linux-imx7-g++, so assuming I have to write my own configuration files.
I looked into https://forum.qt.io/topic/100163/how-to-cross-compile-qt-app-for-i-mx8mqevk-fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx
which used a similar board, so I used their .conf file, but do not have an image to use (I think?).
I was currently trying to use this toolchain : https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads , unless there is a better one to use. Was unsure how to link the toolchain into the ./configure command (do I link the folder or a specific binary?)Is there an easy way to do this in QtCreator?
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated to get me started. Thanks!

Are you refering to device Variscite DART-MXM8?
If so, have you checked the Wiki for instructions on:
