Develop using Qt Creator

You can use Qt Creator and Digi Embedded Yocto to create Qt applications for your platform.

For DEY versions prior to dey-2.2-r3, special rootfs images including the qtcreator-debug and debug-tweaks features must be compiled and flashed in the device. To do so, add these lines to your conf/local.conf project file:

conf/local.conf

# Required features to enable Qt-Creator debugging:
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks qtcreator-debug"
 
# Specify the SSH server used by Qt-Creator debug feature (use dropbear):
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_qtcreator-debug-ssh-daemon = "dropbear"

See Create and build projects for more information on how to build rootfs images.

Note For more information, see the Qt Creator Manual at http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/.
