TS-4900 QT5 Hello World

Open the Qt Creator IDE and click New Project.

Qt provides multiple templates for application development. For this example select the default Qt Widgets Application.

Specify the location for your project. Keep in mind that the compile process will create more build paths in the Create In: path.

Next, select the kit. The TSIMX6 is the kit we set up in the last section, but you may have other kits pre-installed on your system. These can be used for testing graphical development on your PC. Keep in mind distribution versions may contain different functionality.

Next select the class and filename information. This example will use the defaults.

Select any version control for the project. The example will use none and finish the wizard. This will generate the new project.

Click the button under Help on the left column, and select TSIMX6 debug. If there is only one kit selected, this will be default.

Now return to edit, and open the Qt project file, qt5-helloworld.pro. Add in these lines anywhere after the target is specified:

linux-* {
    target.path = /home/root
    INSTALLS += target
}

Last, the DISPLAY must be selected. This is done by setting a run environment variable that will be set when the application is run on the board.

At this point click the green allow in the bottom left to run the application. This can also be launched from the menu at Build->Run.

From here, you can begin customizing your application. Refer to the official Qt documentation for more information
