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-se

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:

Cubieboard - Building Openbox (Android ICS)
Cubieboard - Building Openbox (Android ICS)
Goes over building Openbox for the Cubieboard and applying patch to the source code that fixes the blank screen problem when using DVI monitors.
This uses the Android Ice Cream Sandwich version and has XBMC included in it. Building this in a virtual machine running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Resources:
1. Setting up an Android build environment: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
2. OpenBox build instructions: https://github.com/cubieboard/manifests
3. Patched SystemServer.java file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v9vka32mlqtld9x/SystemServer.java. (From https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/cubieboard/android/kudqRknOhxs see Silverio D.'s post.)
4. Flashing LiveSuit images to the board from windows 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeULfhdX1CY
