Qt application development on the Beaglebone, an ARM Embedded Linux system

Part 1 - Beaglebone: LCD Touchscreen GUI Applications for Embedded Linux
This is the first video in a set of three on Qt application development on the Beaglebone or any other embedded Linux device. This video introduces the LCD module that I used, reviews it and then discusses how you can install it and develop very basic onboard GTK GUI applications. This leads to the second video where I set up a full toolchain for Qt application development under embedded Linux (Qt for embedded devices) and then in the final video I demonstrate an example application that uses an accelerometer and LED to act as output/input devices and I provide the full source code.

Part 2 - Beaglebone: Qt Creator for C++ ARM Embedded Linux Development
This is the second video in a set of three on Qt application development on the Beaglebone or any other embedded Linux device. The first video introduces the LCD module that I used and this video is where I set up a full toolchain for C++ Qt application development under embedded Linux (Qt for embedded devices). This toolchain allows us to cross compile Qt applications for the Beaglebone, deploy the applications directly to the beaglebone with a single click and even use remote debugging using gdbserver to diagnose any problems with our applications. The main use of this platform is for GUI application development when a LCD module, or external display is present.

In the final video I demonstrate an example application that uses an accelerometer and LED to act as output/input devices and I provide the full source code.


Thad Failor (via comments below) provides some information on how to deal with the requirement to execute . /usr/local/angtrom/arm/environment-setup in advance of starting QtCreator. The steps are: 
- Open Qt Creator 
- Open your project 
- Click Projects under [Your Beaglebone Kit] 
- Click Build 
- Scroll down to the bottom and click details 
- Click on Batch 
- Edit Paste the contents of the ". /usr/local/angstrom/arm/enviro­­nment-se­tup" removing any of the "export" commands.

Part 3 - Beaglebone: Example Qt Embedded Linux Application
This is the third video in a set of three on Qt application development on the Beaglebone or any other embedded Linux device. The first video introduces the LCD module that I used and the second video is where I set up a full toolchain for C++ Qt application development under embedded Linux (Qt for embedded devices). This toolchain allows us to cross compile Qt applications for the Beaglebone, deploy the applications directly to the beaglebone with a single click and even use remote debugging using gdbserver to diagnose any problems with our applications. The main use of this platform is for GUI application development when a LCD module, or external display is present.

In this the final video in this series I demonstrate an example application that uses an accelerometer and LED to act as output/input devices and I provide the full source code. I explain how the source code is structured and how the physical circuit was configured.

The source code is available at the Linux prompt by typing:
git clone git://github.com/derekmolloy/beagleboneQ­T.git
