Touch for Qt GUI application is not working for my Nitrogen 6 Max Arm Board.

[kuber saini]

Hi.
I have cross compiled Qt for my Nitrogen 6 Max (Arm) Board.
I followed these steps:

1. Downloaded the source code for qt4.8.7.

2. Downloaded the linaro toolchain : gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux.

3. Modified the qmake.conf file in directory:
   /qt4.8.7/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++

$modifications to g++.conf
QMAKE_CC = arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
QMAKE_CXX = arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
QMAKE_LINK = arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++

$modifications to linux.conf
QMAKE_AR = arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar cqs
QMAKE_OBJCOPY = arm-linux-gnueabihf-objcopy
QMAKE_STRIP = arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip

QMAKE_INCDIR += /home/carplay/Kuber/CrossCompileQt/CrosscompileTSLIB/tslib-master/src
QMAKE_LIBDIR += /opt/tslib-git-linaro4.9/lib

4. And configure command:
   ./configure -prefix /opt/Qt4.8.7 -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -qt-kbd-linuxinput -qt-mouse-tslib -opensource –v

After lots of error resolve finally Qt Compilation is done successfully. Now I copied the opt/Qt4.8.7 folder to the /opt/Qt4.8.7 directory of Nitrogen 6 Max Board.

All the console application is working fine. But whenever i create any GUI application it will display GUI on the screen but if i touch anywhere on the screen that much part will be updated with desktop.

So basically GUI applications are not running properly.
Please help me regarding this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you configure tslib properly to run on your board ?

Thanks S Gaist...
I cross compile Tslib and copied all to target filesystem. I followed following steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/kergoth/tslib.git or https://github.com/kergoth/tslib

2. cd tslib

3. ./autogen.sh

4. ./configure -prefix=/opt/tslib -host=( arm-linux-gnueabihf)crosscompiler_name.

5. make

6. make install

7. Output files can be found in /opt/tslib/

8. Copy the “tslib” directory to ‘/opt/tslib’ on the Nitrogen 6 Max Board.

9. Uncomment line no. 2 in ts.conf, i.e. ‘module_raw input’
   Now the content in ts.conf file will be
   # cat /etc/ts.conf

   module_raw input
   module pthres pmin=1
   module variance delta=30
   module dejitter delta=100
   module linear
   

10. Copy ‘/opt/tslib/etc/ts.conf’ to ‘/etc’ on the Nitrogen 6 Max Board.

11. Call the following from the Board command line (or make a script):
    a. export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/event0
    b. export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
    c. export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
    d. export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/opt/tslib/lib/ts

12. Run ‘ts_calibrate’ and complete the calibration.

But when i ran the "ts_calibrate" program its draw a layer on desktop with black color to calibrate the mouse and display a cross sign on left top corner. Now to calibrate i have to touch that cross sign on the screen. But when i touch that cross sign it will update desktop image for that area(in other word running ts_calibrate's gui will go off for that position).
So I am not able to calibrate using ts_calibrate exe.

But If I ran "ts_print" or "ts_print_raw" exe and then touch on the screen, it will display the touch positions on the console.

Thanks.

Desktop ? What desktop ?

I am working on Nitrogen6 Max Board using Ubuntu Trusty for i.MX6 boards img (light weight desktop environment).
I have downloaded img file from timesys for direct use http://boundarydevices.com/trusty-ubuntu-mx6/.
