Open the QT Creator IDE and click "New Project".

QT New Project

QT has many paths for developing applications. For a simple example this guide uses the default "QT Widgets Application".

QT Widgets App

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

QT Location

Next, select the kit. In this case I'm enabling Desktop for testing, and TSIMX6.

QT Select Kit

For now I'm using the default class information. The project management window can also be left with its defaults. Click "Finish". This will generate the new project. Click the button under "Help" on the left column, and select "TSIMX6" debug.

QT Select build

Now return to edit, and open the QT project file (qt5-helloworld.pro). Add in these lines after the target: 

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

Specify the install path when the application is deployed to the device.

QT Deploy Path

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
