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
lie this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueijEXp2dAY.
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.

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? -
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)

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).
