Can Qt run in IMX 8 via EGLFS?

Hi,
Does anyone have experience running Qt with EGLFS as backend in a IMX 8 SoC?
According to NXP documentation, it should be possible to run Qt applications on top of wayland, but would like to know if direct rendering via EGLFS could be an option. The Qtbase configuration log shows it has EGLFS support enabled. Is that enough?
Thanks. -

EGLFS assumes to have exclusive access to the display (no Window Manager involved).
If you want to run a Qt app in Wayland environment you need to start it with the wayland platform plugin.
