New Qt for Embedded Linux Series started

Scylla

Try the framebuffer test program (examples/qws/framebuffer). If this works, don't waste your time with x11. This was exactly my first test on our arm system.

ZapB

Same here. Followed by some of the examples since from memory the framebuffer test app does not require the qws stuff which in turn requires the fonts ot be found which was another "gotcha" I fell for. ;-)

Scylla

And if your framebuffer device is not /dev/fb0 just set the right device as option for the framebuffer test program.

Hi :) Sorry for the delay in my answer. Today is a hard day of setup and computer organization...

WELL ! Convincted!

I proceed with Qt4embedded. News later.

Scylla

That was a good choice ;)

Alicemirror

I am sure. But the real good choice I think is to abandon X server ... Now I should download Qt for embedded then check if it is best to develop under that (new for me) toolchain that you are always using - Scylla - or ltib.

@Scilla: if you have some time for me I'll like to discuss advantages and problems to choice your toolchain or ltib (or OpenWrt). Next days I can write some specific pages on these on the wiki as a compendium to what is writing ZapB

ZapB

Good luck! It can be frustrating at first as you feel your way but it's worth it in the end. I look forward to reading your write up.

Ok, no problem but today it's birthday of my wife, so no time today. Let's try tomorrow. If you want I can provide my toolchain.

Alicemirror

Happy birthday to your wife!!! She is pisces sign?

It's good, if you email me I can provide you a decent ftp (home nas for personal use) access to share what can't be fit in a hosted projects.forum.nokia.com while for the other stuff I create a nokia project. You can be of the team developer crew :)

Scylla

So, now I'm back.

bq. She is pisces sign?

Yes, indeed she is!

Ok, this can we do. Which toolchain do you need, x86 or arm? I've got both, with integreated Qt. That means, you can use that toolchain direct without anything else. The x86 version is build with Qt 4.7.0, will be updated propably soon. The arm version is build with Qt 4.7.2, so it's brand new.

And on monday I'm back at work. So let me know, if you are interested in!
