C/C++/Qt Application Development Remote on Host PC

Introduction

If you want to compile applications on your host pc, you have to install some additional tools and the SDK/Toolchain.

All SDK/Toolchain and a complete set up virtual machine (with Qt installed) is available under:

Files on FTP Server	Description
exceet-glibc-i686-arm-toolchain-00937_0C.tar.xz	Linux SDK/Toolchain for Windows Development Tools for imx6 Devices
kch-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-qt6-armv7at2hf-neon-40099086-01021-v0B-toolchain-0B.sh	Linux SDK/Toolchain for Linux Development Tools for imx6 Devices
kch-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-qt6-aarch64-11555-01013-v0J-toolchain-0J.sh	Linux SDK/Toolchain for Linux Development Tools for imx8mm Devices
20220503_Ubuntu 20.04_Yocto-SDK-VM.ova	Ubuntu Virtual Machine with installed/configurated SDK, QtCreator

Download the Linux SDK depending your device.
Set the SDK installation file executable using the commandline: chmod +x <Linux SDK File>
Install the SDK File using the commandline: ./<Linux SDK File>
1. Choose a installation directory for example ~~"/opt/kch/"~~ "/home/user/sdk/11555/oecore-x86_64" or "/home/user/sdk/iMX8/oecore-x86_64"

Open or create a new QtCreator Project and choose the Kit for your device.

For remote debugging, your device has to be set up (Set up a Linux Device for the QtCreator) and the device ip must match the ip configured in the kit.

After installing the sdk you can call the environemt-setup script in the installation folder of your sdk <SDK DIR/environment-setup-<ARCH>>.

For Example: open Terminal and call: $/home/user/sdk/40099086/0B/environment-setup-armv7at2hf-neon-ktn-linux-gnueabi

After the environment-setup call make, gcc, g++ are direct for the device available.
