\title Connecting Embedded Linux Devices
|
|
|
|
You can connect embedded Linux devices to the development PC to build, run,
|
|
debug, and analyze applications on them from \QC.
|
|
|
|
If you have a tool chain for building applications for embedded Linux
|
|
devices installed on the development PC, you can add
|
|
it to \QC. You can then select a \l{glossary-buildandrun-kit}{kit}
|
|
with \uicontrol {Embedded Linux} device type to
|
|
build and run applications on embedded Linux devices.
|
|
|
|
To be able to run and debug applications on embedded Linux devices, you must
|
|
add devices and select them in the \QC \l{glossary-buildandrun-kit}{kit}.
|
|
|
|
You use a wizard to create the connections. You can edit the settings later
|
|
in \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Devices.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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 an embedded Linux device and to
|
|
specify build and run settings for the device:
|
|
|
|
\list 1
|
|
|
|
\li Make sure that your device can be reached via an IP address.
|
|
|
|
\li Select \uicontrol {Tools > Options > Build & Run > Qt Versions > Add} to
|
|
add the Qt version
|
|
for the embedded Linux.
|
|
|
|
\li Select \uicontrol {Tools > Options > Build & Run > Compilers > Add} to
|
|
add the compiler
|
|
for building the applications.
|
|
|
|
\li To deploy applications and run them remotely on devices, specify
|
|
parameters for accessing the devices:
|
|
|
|
\list 1
|
|
|
|
\li Select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Devices
|
|
> \uicontrol Add > \uicontrol {Generic Linux Device}
|
|
> \uicontrol {Start Wizard}.
|
|
|
|
\image qtcreator-screenshot-devconf-linux.png "Connection Data wizard"
|
|
|
|
\li In the \uicontrol {The name to identify this configuration} field,
|
|
enter a name for the connection.
|
|
|
|
\li In the \uicontrol {The device's host name or IP address} field,
|
|
enter the host name or IP address of the device.
|
|
This value will be available in the variable \c %{CurrentDevice:HostAddress}.
|
|
|
|
\li In the \uicontrol {The username to log into the device} field,
|
|
enter the username to log into the device and run the
|
|
application as.
|
|
This value will be available in the variable \c %{CurrentDevice:UserName}.
|
|
|
|
\li In the \uicontrol {The authentication type} field, select whether
|
|
to use \uicontrol Password or \uicontrol Key authentication, and enter
|
|
the user's password or the file that contains the user's
|
|
private key.
|
|
The latter will be available in the variable \c %{CurrentDevice:PrivateKeyFile}.
|
|
|
|
\li Click \uicontrol {Next} to create the connection.
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
All of these parameters can be edited later, as well as additional ones that the
|
|
wizard does not show because there are sensible default values. One of these is
|
|
the SSH port number, which is available in the variable \c %{CurrentDevice:SshPort}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\li Select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol {Build & Run}
|
|
> \uicontrol Kits > \uicontrol Add to add a kit for building for the device.
|
|
Select the
|
|
Qt version, compiler, and device that you added above, and choose
|
|
\uicontrol {Generic Linux Device} for the device type.
|
|
|
|
\li To specify build settings:
|
|
|
|
\list 1
|
|
|
|
\li Open a project for an application you want to develop for the
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
\li Select \uicontrol Projects > \uicontrol {Build & Run} > \uicontrol {Add Kit} to
|
|
add the kit that you specified above.
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\li Select \uicontrol Run to specify run settings.
|
|
|
|
\image qtcreator-run-settings-linux-devices.png "Run settings for embedded Linux devices"
|
|
|
|
Usually, you can use the default settings.
|
|
|
|
When you run the project, \QC deploys the application as specified by the
|
|
deploy steps. By default, \QC copies the application files to the device.
|
|
For more information, see \l{Deploying Applications to Embedded Linux Devices}.
