Boot2Qt and CAN or SPI communication

Damian7546

I am testing Boot2Qt module together with STM32MP157F-DK2.
I prepared my first GUI in Qt Design Studio and deploy my application to target device

Now I would like to establish communication with CAN device slaves, but I have no idea where to start.

While analyzing the STM32MP157F-DK2 diagram, I noticed that I had an SPI interface available, so I logged to target device by ssh and listed SPI devices bo nothing found.

root@b2qt-stm32mp15-disco:~# ls -1 /dev/spi*
ls: /dev/spi*: No such file or directory

Can you give me any idea how add SPI or CAN driver to Boot2Qt system ?

Maybe simple question, how control GPIO from qt ?

Hi, this is not related to Qt. I suggest you to ask in ST forums related to your mcu.
Have you installed STM32CubeMX? Maybe you have got a sub folder with examples about gpio usage.

So, the logic , for example control DI DO , I need STM32CubeMX to programing in? , not form C++ , qt ?

I haven't got experience with your device.
I the past I made a project for raspberry pi where the gui was made in Qt.
To manage the GPIOs and the spi I used a specified library for raspberry pi.
I think your device is similar.
I think that Qt can't support each device that has got a spi, i2c or gpio interfaces.
Have you check in the stm forums?

So, you included library for raspberry pi (ex. "wiringPi") to qt creator and controled GPIO from the qt level?

@Damian7546 You don't include a library "to QtCreator", you link the library to your application and use it like any other.
"controled GPIO from the qt level" - this has nothing to do with Qt, you use that library in your C++ code.

So, on my host machine (where I have qt and qtCreator) additionaly I should install SDK (STM32MP1 OpenSTLinux Developer Package Sources) to my STM32 and link downloaded library to my project in qt Creator ?
