    Do you mean /opt/QtE_demo/? If so /opt is not writeable by normal users.

        @swansorter User data is usually stored in user home directory.
        Check https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html to see how to get various standard locations.

          What did you do about printing QFile::error/errorString() if file open fails?

                That is what QFile::errorString() reports?

                    I don't think this is a good idea to do this, at least with a global variable!
                    Have you checked, on the Nano pc on which path you tried to write?
                    Have you checked the directory is writable / the application is allowed to write there?

                    It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

                      Slightly strange that you just get a number, and it seems to mean I/O Error, which is also a touch strange.

                      Nevertheless, @jsulm has told you above what you need to use. Pick a QStandardPaths suitable for the user to have write permission, for example QStandardPaths::HomeLocation.

                      3.i wanted place file where my application file is located

                      This is a bad idea. The application file/executable is likely to be placed in a directory to which the user does not have write access, and anyway it's not a good place for data files.
