Error on running Qt 5 example project on embedded arm target

[kraj_mdn]

I have downloaded Qt 5.7 open source version. Then configured and built it to run on an embedded target with below mentioned configuration options.

./configure -xplatform linux-arm-hisiv400-linux-gnueabi-g++ -opensource -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtimageformats -skip qtmacextras -skip qtserialport -skip qtx11extras -skip qtxmlpatterns -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdoc -skip qtgraphicaleffects -skip qtlocation -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtsensors -skip qttools -skip qttranslations -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwinextras -verbose -no-gif -no-libjpeg -no-mtdev -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-xcb -qt-freetype -fontconfig -no-harfbuzz -no-xinput2 -no-xcb-xlib -no-pulseaudio -no-alsa -no-nis -no-cups -no-iconv -no-icu -no-eglfs -no-openssl -shared -qpa linuxfb -confirm-license

I was able to configure it successfully and after built the Qt 5.7. After this, copied generated libraries from <loc_Qt_source>/qt_base/lib/ to my embedded target. Also copied one of the GUI example project analogclock (qtbase/examples/gui/analogclock) to embedded target. In the embedded target set the library path correctly. Then tried running this example project using command shown below.

./analogclock -platform linuxfb

But I am getting below error on running this example project.

Failed to open framebuffer /dev/fb0 (Operation not permitted)
linuxfb: Failed to initialize screen
Segmentation fault

Could any one please let me know what might be wrong here and how to fix this issue.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you check that you have the rights to access that device ?

@SGaist Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have the rights to access the device.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing: I meant /deb/fb0 on the target not the target itself.
