Beaglebone: Qt Creator for C++ ARM Embedded Linux Development

This is the second video in a set of three on Qt application development on the Beaglebone or any other embedded Linux device. The first video introduces the LCD module that I used and this video is where I set up a full toolchain for C Qt application development under embedded Linux (Qt for embedded devices). This toolchain allows us to cross compile Qt applications for the Beaglebone, deploy the applications directly to the beaglebone with a single click and even use remote debugging using gdbserver to diagnose any problems with our applications. The main use of this platform is for GUI application development when a LCD module, or external display is present. In the final video I demonstrate an example application that uses an accelerometer and LED to act as output/input devices and I provide the full source code. Thad Failor (via comments below) provides some information on how to deal with the requirement to execute . /usr/local/angtrom/arm/environment-setup in advance of starting QtCreator. The ste
