\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 \QC.
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 \QC.
To be able to run and debug applications on generic Linux devices, you must
create device configurations and select them in the \QC 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 \QC 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 \QC. For more information, see \l {Generating SSH Keys}.
To configure connections between \QC 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
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options > Linux Devices > Device
Configurations > Add > Generic Linux Device}.
\image qtcreator-screenshot-devconf-linux.png "Connection Data wizard"
\o In the \gui {The name to identify this configuration} field,
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.
\endlist
\o To specify build settings:
\list 1
\o Open a project for an application you want to develop for the
device.
\o Select \gui {Projects > Desktop > Build}.
\o Select the Qt version and tool chain for the generic Linux
device.
\endlist
\o To specify run settings:
\list 1
\o Select \gui {Run > Add > Build Tarball and Deploy to Linux Host}
to add a new deploy configuration.
\image qtcreator-run-settings-linux-devices.png "Run settings for generic Linux devices"
\o In the \gui {Device configuration} field, select the device
connection.
\endlist
When you run the project, \QC 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 \QC 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.
\endlist
