How to get Started with Emdedded Linux development using Qt?

vishnu

I would like to develop an embedded application using Qt framework. Upon my research on internet i got some suggestions like Qtonpi( Raspberry pi ) , Beaglebone . I have no idea where to get started with. Can you please sugest me some basic projects to get started with embedded development using Qt?
eg:like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYZwRl8QH5g . or

To make it in simple words. I want to code in Qt and the output on the hardware device .

Hi,

As silly as it may sound: just get one board and a screen for it, cross-compile Qt for that board and start to play with it.

vishnu

haha yeah but I am confused to get which board?

I normally use raspberry pi and olimex a20. Writing programs for Desktop or arm based boards is the same.
Please remember that raspberry pi doesn't support opengl.

The Raspberry Pi supports OpenGL ES2.0

Ok, If I remember correctly there is a problem with QtWebKit. Is true?
Can you explain which parts of Qt Framework are not supported from raspberry?

SGaist

That I don't know, I haven't used webkit on the Raspberry Pi. AFAIK, all of Qt can be built for the Pi (current state so 5.3.X)

Qt Quick?

The Pi does not support EGL/OpenGL under X11. When running Qt apps on the framebuffer (without X), EGL+GLES 2.0 works just fine (including Qt Quick).
