\title Deploying Applications to Embedded Linux Devices
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify settings for deploying applications to generic Linux devices
|
||||
in the project .pro file.
|
||||
You can view the settings in the
|
||||
\gui {Run Settings}.
|
||||
|
||||
\image qtcreator-maemo-deployment.png "Deploy to device"
|
||||
|
||||
The files to be installed are listed in the \gui {Deployment} step,
|
||||
the \gui {Files to install for subproject} field. The \gui {Local File Path}
|
||||
field displays the location of the file on the development PC. The
|
||||
\gui {Remote Directory} field displays the folder where the file is
|
||||
installed on the device. Text in red color indicates that the information is
|
||||
missing. Edit the qmake \l{Variables#installs}
|
||||
{INSTALLS variable} in the project .pro file to add the missing files.
|
||||
|
||||
When you run the application, \QC copies the necessary files to the device
|
||||
and starts the application on it.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, adding
|
||||
|
||||
\code
|
||||
target.path = /root
|
||||
INSTALLS += target
|
||||
\endcode
|
||||
|
||||
to the project .pro file will copy the binary of your project to \c /root
|
||||
on the remote device. Additional files can be deployed by adding them to
|
||||
further targets and adding those to \c INSTALLS as well.

||||

||||
\section1 Deploying on Embedded Linux
|
||||
|
||||
\image qtcreator-embedded-linux-deployment.png "Deploy to embedded Linux"
|
||||
|
||||
When you run the application on the \gui {Embedded Linux} device,
|
||||
\QC deploys the application as specified by the deploy steps. By default,
|
||||
\QC copies the application files to the device by using the SSH file
|
||||
transfer protocol (SFTP), as specified by the \gui {Upload files via SFTP}
|
||||
step.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a lot of data to copy, select \gui Details in the
|
||||
\gui {Upload Files via SFTP} step, and then select the
|
||||
\gui {Incremental deployment} check box. \QC takes note of the deployment
|
||||
time and only copies files that have changed since the last deployment.
|
||||
However, when you make major changes on the device, such as removing files
|
||||
from the device manually or flashing a new disk image, or when you use
|
||||
another device with the same IP address, deselect the check box once, to
|
||||
have \QC deploy all files again.
|
||||
|
||||
To only create a tarball and not copy the files to the device, select
|
||||
\gui {Add Deploy Step > Create tarball}. Then remove all other deploy steps.
|
||||
|
||||
The \gui {Deploy tarball via SFTP upload} step specifies that \QC
|
||||
uploads the tarball to the device and extracts it.
|
||||
|
||||
\note If the SFTP upload fails, make sure that the remote device has
|
||||
SFTP enabled in its SSH daemon. Some versions of Dropbear that come
|
||||
without SFTP support will crash when an SFTP upload is being attempted.
|
||||
This is not a bug in \QC.
