Qt for Microcontrollers 2.0 for console app
-
I am building a console app to run on a Rasberry Pi, which will reside in a vehicle.
In searching for low power alternatives, I'm running into microcontrollers a lot (eg ESP32). This is very tempting.
I have already built a lot of code in Qt/C++ using QObjects and other core libraries.
Is it possible to port my app to Qt for Microcontrollers 2.0? From the Qt pages I read there's lot of discussion on GUI, but little on core libraries.

according to the docs, it looks like it's heavily weighted to QML GUI generation.
IMHO, MCU programming should remain in the domain of RTOS control systems. Frameworks will never be as lite as, bare metal programming or a lite weight RTOS like FreeRTOS. I mean...MCUs are for time critical hardware control where sometimes optimizations are at the level of counting machine code instructions and multiplying by SYSCLOCK rate.
re RPI ... bad juju...it unfortunately gives managers a very unrealistic and simplistic view of what real embedded programming is and you CANNOT write a safety critical application for RPI. they are incompatible.
Good luck.
