    rsync -avz debian@192.168.7.2:/usr sysroot

    Here,I am synchronizing the sysroot from board to computer,

    so,Home directory to the user means ,I need to give like this
    rsync -avz debian@192.168.7.2:/usr /home/beagle/BBB/sysroot

    OR

    rsync -avz debian@192.168.7.2:/usr /home/beagle

      Well, if you use /home/beagle you will pollute your home directory with the sysroot content, so use /home/beagle/BBB/sysroot ...

          Even if you don't have the Qt folder on beaglebone at same location, you can export the following environment variables on BBB and be able to run your Qt application in it.

          export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/debian/(Qt folder name)/plugins/platforms
          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/debian/(Qt folder name)/lib":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
          export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/debian/(Qt folder name)/plugins
          export QT_QPA_FONTDIR=/home/debian/(Qt folder name)/lib/fonts
          

          Main thing you need to check is do you have eglfs as platform in the first place? Because I'm working on a BBB myself, and my application isn't in critical need of eglfs, but normally with BBB sysroot and linaro toolchain combo, you don't get eglfs working. You should check the path /home/debian/(Qt folder name)/plugins/platforms before using any app whether you have a library for eglfs there. If you do, then the commands above will point the Qt application to right folder and it will detect eglfs as platform plugin.

          I followed this..target.png

          here is my .pro filetarget.pro.png

          what i gave target.path, is it correct?

          if its correct I am getting the error as shown in screenshot,

          for that error solution ,I gave all the rights(rwx) to the /home/beagle/Qt5.13.1 directory then also getting the same error,any suggestions please....

              @Asha I think the problem is the $$[Qt5] placeholder in the value for target.path variable in your .pro
              what if you just make it simple as target.path=/home/beagle/Qt5.13.1

                      @Asha said in could not find qtplatfom plugin eglfs:

                      /home/beagle does not exit on my device

                      Well, that's the problem: only root has write access in /home.
                      Why do you use /home/beagle if your user is debian?!
                      Use /home/debian ...

                          @Asha said in could not find qtplatfom plugin eglfs:

                          linuxfb, minimal, offscreen, vnc

                          Looks like you did not build eglfs support when building Qt

                            @jsulm
                            but other platforms like linuxfb and vnc both are enabled while building qt,

                            And I exported linuxfb in my device...

                            one more ,while building I tried with -eglfs option also but got the error like

                            ERROR: 'eglfs' already enabled...

                              @Asha What do you actually want to use? eglfs? linuxfb? ...?
                              Adding -eglfs is not going to help as it is already activated, but your Qt build does not support it.

                                  @Asha Well, I think I already mentioned this once: you have to know what your device actually uses. Is it X11, eglfs, linuxfb, ...?
