Example for embedded linux
-
I have a Linux ARMv7 device running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with a touch screen. The processor is pretty underpowered and we are looking for a UI framework that will provide simple graphics and animations in a performant way.
Are there any out of the box examples that will run on that device? I have no Qt experience but just need a quick way to determine if Qt is a potential solution for us.

Hi,
How much underpowered ?
You might want to take a look at this article. It talks about MCU but should give you an overview about Qt on low powered system.

It has about 1 GB a RAM and here is the cpu info:
$lscpu Architecture: armv7l Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 2 On-line CPU(s) list: 0,1 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 Model name: ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v7l) CPU max MHz: 792.0000 CPU min MHz: 396.0000 Hypervisor vendor: (null)I'll have a look at the MCU doc.

@dland See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtexamplesandtutorials.html
But you will either need to setup a cross compile environment and build Qt + examples or do that directly on your device.
