    @Asha You should know what is running on your device. What os and window manager is running on it? Do you use X11, framebuffer or something else?

      That X11 server is not running on your device I guess.

        As we already told you several time: you don't have an X server running.

        Please answer @jsulm questions about what graphical stack you are running on your board.

              There is no need to do this if you want your app running on directly connected display! VNC is for REMOTE access.

              "how to run that or how to enable that server on my board?" - simply install a desktop environment like XFCE/Gnome/... or at least a window manager, it will install X11 as well. But I'm wondering how you plan to use your device if you do not even know what is actually running there and what you actually want to use on the device?

                  Please post an screenshot or picture of that display, and state if such display is attached to the board OR if the display of your laptop you connect to your device.

                    There is no such thing. Debian is a Linux distribution and can be used with many different desktops and window manager.
                    What does

                    ps -e | grep X 
                    
                    

                    output?

                        when there is no XServer running. Just to be sure: you're running this command when the graphical desktop is shown?
                        You need to find out what is used on your device. Could be directfb for example.

                                so what it means?

                                So, now X server is running. But your app doesn't start, right?
                                You get "Qxcb connection:could not connect to the display"?
                                Do you start your app as root or normal user?

                                  @Asha in addition to @jsulm question,

                                  Do you start your app as root or normal user?

                                  How are you starting your application:
                                  Do you have a physical keyboard attached to the board?
                                  Or do you connect to the board from PC with a SSH session?

                                      NO! You should not start it as root.

                                      Can you connect a keyboard to your device and start directly there without SSH.

                                        It looks like you're NOT forwarding the X display. Please try connecting to the board this way:

                                        ssh -X debian@192.168.7.2
