Unsolved armv7 embedded device with no Graphical interface
-
Hello all, what would be the best QT application for armv7 32 bit, based device, which has no Graphical interface. Therefore it could process and run the c++ application but the visualization would have to run remotely (Web Browser) . Just trying to get started here, we have to spend a couple of f day researching and there is no precompiled solution for oru target.
Specs:
ARM ® Cortex®-A9 2 x 800 Mhz (armv7)
YOCTO Linuxthanks in advance

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Are you thinking about something like the new wasm backend ?
-
@jasonnnn QWebChannel seems like a good fit.

Thnaks a lot for replying guys
That would work for me I guess, i just need some guidance on how to build it, I even built from source on it, but was an older version I believe 5.4 which would no support the Web Assembly .
If I only want to do the Web Assembly, do I still need to build the whole QT 5.13 into my target ??
Just to supply you guys with some more info , here are the results of my build

You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL[_ES2],
QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2] in the mkspec for your platf -
No, just start with qtbase, once you have it continue with the other modules you need.
-
thanks for the reply again, would that be the contrib you refer to https://github.com/qt/qtbase ??
-
GitHub is a mirror, the official sources are at https://code.qt.io. However, you seem to have already the sources so there's no need to clone it again.
-
@sgaist thnaks, but the source i compiled was an old version I belive 5.4, it would have to be upate correct ??
I am just going to rebuild using 5.13. Now as far as the next steps how do I go about to get the Web assembly running and imported from the QT creator
thanks
-
while trying to run configure i got this, i did clone from https://code.qt.io.
root@axcf2152:/opt/qt5/qtbase# ./configure

Did you clone qtbase directly ?
In any case, I would recommend to put the sources somewhere a standard user can access (it's home directory for example) rather that building stuff as root.
That said, you can clone the qt5 repository and then follow the instructions to get all the sources checkout out properly.

We are changing the focus and following this guide as well
running into problems with emsdk
Error: No tool or SDK found by name 'sdk-releases-fastcomp-f3030d9fffcc9e1287cb6b8e72982e94ece31d71-64bit'.
-
Which guide ?
-
https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_WebAssembly
my question on that is when i build from source do I only need to build QTbase ??
thanks
-
If you want to use QtQuick, you should also build qtdeclarative.
-
I am really not sure about what we need to be totally honest, QT has some many options it becomes overwhelming.
We do understand that the functionality we need lies on QT Web Assembly, What would exactly the source package dependencies and all that I need to build to run the QT web assembly ?? is qt declarative and QTquick mandatories, we need this deployment as light as possible
-
Mandatory ? No they are not, it depends mainly on what your application should show/do. If you need some fancy animations, then QtQuick is the way to go.
-
I have successfully built QTbase and emsdk (nodejs ) , what would be the next step?
-
Create a small application and follow the Build and Run applications part of the guide you are following. Then you shall have an application ready.
-

@jasonnnn said in armv7 embedded device with no Graphical interface:
'xplatform'.
should be -xplatform
