Hi,

Can you please tell me Is there any way to run a custom GUI in J721e common processor board using any platform like Qt or Python.

Hi Rejin,

I'm not sure what exactly you mean. You can build a Qt application and run it on the J721e, though. Most of our graphics/demos are done in Qt.

Best,
Jared

Hi,

1. Is possible to run python based GUI in J721E. means is cross compiler available in SDK for Python?. if available, can you please provide a guide for that.

2. How can we cross compile a custom QT GUI using SDK. I am using SDK version 08.06.01.02.

Hi Rejin,

To run pyqt, you'll need to make sure that all of the dependencies and packages are included into your Yocto image. You can also build the ipks separately and install them on the target.

Coincidentally, I have an example of building pyqt here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1281833/faq-processor-sdk-j784s4-how-do-i-build-yocto-images-and-packages-for-j7-devices

I would build your QT apps using yocto, an example of how to do that can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68895012/how-to-build-simple-qt-application-using-yocto/68896403#68896403

Best,
Jared

Hi Jared,

Is there any way to configure Qt creator with the qmake and cross compiler provided in the SDK like we did in sithara437x board. Link for that is given below

https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM437X/09_01_00_001/exports/docs/linux/Examples_and_Demos_Sub-system_Demos.html#hands-on-with-qt

In that link LAB 2: QT Creator Hello World is used for configuring Qt. But in our J721e SDK I didn't find a configuration steps.

Please provide a configuration steps like that.

Hi Rejin,

We don't have configuration steps like the AM437, but the steps should be similar. We have the relevant libraries within the linux-devkit.

Best,
Jared

Hi Jared,

Thanks for your support. Qt GUI creation is successful using qmake and make command along the support of environment script.
