As a result of our close cooperation with the platform software teamsfrom leading system on chip (SoC) manufacturers, detailed developerguides, in the form of hardware-specific Qt “mkspecs” , have now beencreated and added to the publicly accessible
Qt Gitorious repository.
These precise guides are designed to ease the usually complex andtime-consuming task of bringing up Qt initially on the SoC selected for adevice project. They also assist programmers to take full advantage ofavailable hardware-accelerated graphics engines. Witnessing theever-expanding role of Qt as the device UI and applications developmentframework of choice in consumer and industrial electronics deviceprojects,
Nokia Qt and many SoC companies teamed to
make these guides areality.
The leveragability of this work is evident, since all devicedevelopment teams working on projects based on Qt and a particular SoCtarget can feel confident their initial Qt implementation will beachieved more quickly and will run efficiently, effectively andfunctionally. This should help developers get beyond the “gettingstarted” phase and on to the business of building the intended deviceand necessary applications.
Housed at
https://gitorious.org/qt-platform-mkspecs the“mkspecs” are the results of real team efforts between the Nokia Qtteam and SoC teams who share a common vision of assisting jointcustomers and partners to become more efficient.
This work has also created a virtuous circle of enhancements as weourselves have contributed to improvements in SoC platform software andour SoC partners have enhanced our understanding of their graphicsengines. Together we’ve been able to refine and further improveperformance and richness of our Qt-based demonstrations (as evidenced inareas such as QtMediaHub and the IVI demos), and they are now usingthese same demos themselves to showcase their hardware performance andto promote the “Qt development readiness” of their hardware.
We see the next step for this “mkspecs” project as building out asection of “Qt in Use” on our web site devoted to thesehardware-specific collaborations. Once complete, this section willinclude detailed information for each of the SoCs upon which Qt has beenpre-integrated, will highlight device projects successfully buildingupon Qt and the respective hardware, and will provide bilateral websitelinking with each SoC partner to further improve relevant informationand access. In this way we intend to develop and supply sets of bestpractice processes of practical use when it comes to working to achievetop-class software integrations and device performance. And given thatthis all falls under the umbrella of the Qt Project, we also welcomeany and all to use and contribute to the growing richness of the work.
We now make available Qt Mkspecs for Broadcom’s 7420 and 7425platforms, Trident’s Shiner platform, Sigma Designs 8654 and 8656platforms, TI’s Panda board, AM Logic’s 8726M platform, and ST Micro’s7108. You may have been reading about Broadcom’s 2835-based developmentplatform – better known as Raspberry Pi – we have Qt Mkspecs for thattoo.
We’ll add to these as our capabilities (and others’ contributions)permit. Part of this work will also include retesting these periodically(approx. every six months) against new hardware platform revisions. Allof this is being done to continue to grow a broader Qt ecosystem as wemove forward.
