QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded (Yocto / Qt5.6)

chaithubk

I am working on Nitrogen6x board that runs on Yocto 2.1 with Qt 5.6.2 support. I have developed a Qt application that reads data from a Sql database, but I started noticing the below error when I launch my application on target.

QSQLITE driver not loaded 
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:

As I understand it, this means that I do not have the QSQLITE driver (plugin) built and installed on my target system. I did a simple search to find sql plugin on my target machine and I got the below dump:

I read through some online posts and as I understand I would expect something like sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so to be present under

/opt/poky/2.1.1/sysroots/cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/qt5/plugins

to resolve this error ?

I have added PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qtbase = " sql-sqlite" in my local.conf. And tried to do bitbake meta-toolchain-qt5 the build was successful, BUT after extracting the SDK I still don't find the /sqldrivers/ under plugings

I wanted to set my yocto build to create the QSQLITE driver plugin for the target file system. Any help on this is deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.
