\title Connecting Generic Linux Devices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can connect generic Linux devices to the development PC to build, run,
|
|
|
|
|
debug, and analyze applications on them from Qt Creator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have the tool chain for building applications for generic Linux
|
|
|
|
|
devices (with no MADDE support) installed on the development PC, you can add
|
|
|
|
|
it to Qt Creator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be able to run and debug applications on generic Linux devices, you must
|
|
|
|
|
create device configurations and select them in the Qt Creator run
|
|
|
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You use a wizard to create the connections. You can edit the settings later
|
|
|
|
|
in \gui {Tools > Options... > Linux Devices > Device Configurations}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\image qtcreator-linux-device-configurations.png "Device Configurations dialog"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can protect the connections between Qt Creator and a device by using
|
|
|
|
|
either a password or an SSH key. If you do not have an SSH key, you can
|
|
|
|
|
create it in Qt Creator. For more information, see \l {Generating SSH Keys}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To configure connections between Qt Creator and generic Linux devices:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\list 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

\o Make sure that your device can be reached via an IP address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options... > Qt4 > Add} to add the Qt version
|
|
|
|
|
for the generic Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options... > Tool Chains > Add} to add the tool
|
|
|
|
|
chain for building the applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o To deploy applications and run them remotely on devices, specify
|
|
|
|
|
parameters for accessing the devices:

|
|
|
|
|
\list 1

|
|
|
|
|
Configurations > Add > Generic Linux Device}.

|
|
|
|
|
enter a name for the connection.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
\o In the \gui {The device's host name or IP address} field,
|
|
|
|
|
enter the host name or IP address of the device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o In the \gui {The user name to log into the device} field,
|
|
|
|
|
enter the user name to log into the device and run the
|
|
|
|
|
application as.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o In the \gui {The authentication type} field, select whether
|
|
|
|
|
to use \gui Password or \gui Key authentication, and enter
|
|
|
|
|
the user's password or the file that contains the user's
|
|
|
|
|
private key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o Click \gui {Next} to create the connection.

|
|
|
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
\o Select \gui {Projects > Desktop > Build}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\o Select the Qt version and tool chain for the generic Linux
|
|
|
|

device.

\endlist
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

\o In the \gui {Device configuration} field, select the device
|

connection.

\endlist
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
When you run the project, Qt Creator creates an installation package in
|
|
|
|
|
the build directory. The name of the directory is displayed in the
|
|
|
|
|
\gui {Create tarball} step.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \gui {Deploy tarball via SFTP upload using device} step specifies
|
|
|
|
|
that Qt Creator uploads the tarball to the device and extracts it.
|
|
|
|
|
You can add custom deploy steps and remove the default step if
|
|
|
|
|
it is incompatible with your steps.
|
|
|
|
|
To only create a tarball and not copy the files to the device,
|
|
|
|
|
remove all deploy steps.
