Linux/OMAP-L138: Port Qt to OMAPL138

Petr Di

Part Number: OMAP-L138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138, LINUXSDK-OMAPL138,

Tool/software: Linux

I'm using OMAPL138 LCDK (TMDSLCDK138), PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-OMAPL138 04_01_00_06.

As mentioned here https://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/p/612432/2256363?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=OMAP-L138%20Qt#2256363 Qt is not supported for OMAP-L138 devices.

So I have few questions:

1) Is it real to manually port Qt5 or at least Qt4 to OMAPL138 without GUI support (need only QtCore and QtNetwork)?

2) Is it real to manually port Qt5 or at least Qt4 to OMAPL138 with GUI support on LinuxFB?

3) Qt support is in ancient LINUXSDK-OMAPL138 http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxsdk-omapl138 . What the reason of abandon Qt support in newer versions of SDK?

Hi,

Yes you should port qt yourself.

I am not aware of the reason for dropping the support of QT on the latest TISDK for OMAP-L138.

Best Regards,
Yordan

Hi,

if it helps any body...

I had ported Qt 5.5.1 to this platform without GUI, only QtCore, QtNetwork and Qt d-bus.

I had tested simple applications with network functionality (Qt Fortune Server Example and Fortune Client Example). Not all Qt features has been tested.

Any comments would be helpful.

Qt mkspec:

MAKEFILE_GENERATOR      = UNIX
CONFIG                 += incremental
QMAKE_INCREMENTAL_STYLE = sublib

include(../common/linux.conf)
include(../common/gcc-base-unix.conf)
include(../common/g++-unix.conf)

# modifications to g++.conf
QMAKE_CC                = arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
QMAKE_CXX               = arm-linux-gnueabi-g++
QMAKE_LINK              = arm-linux-gnueabi-g++
QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB        = arm-linux-gnueabi-g++

# modifications to linux.conf
QMAKE_AR                = arm-linux-gnueabi-ar cqs
QMAKE_OBJCOPY           = arm-linux-gnueabi-objcopy
QMAKE_NM                = arm-linux-gnueabi-nm -P
QMAKE_STRIP             = arm-linux-gnueabi-strip

COMPILER_FLAGS          = -march=armv5e -marm

QMAKE_CFLAGS           += $${COMPILER_FLAGS}
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS         += $${COMPILER_FLAGS}

load(qt_config)
