Linux image for a qt based app

[JPabl.1]

Hi there STM team!

I need to build a embedded Linux image for a STM32MP15 target. My application has a QT GUI already implemented. 

What is the best approach to create this image? I know OpenSTLinux exist but I don't fully understand what's the advantage, compared to doing everything from scrath in yocto.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

Full description of our X-LINUX-QT expansion package can be found here:

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/X-LINUX-QT_Expansion_Package

In summary:

- as first and quick setup, you can use a standard OSTL starter package and update your debian distrubution with Qt libs (chapter: How to install the Starter Package)

- for developer needs, you can use the Qt SDK add-on. over a standard OST SDK. It will add Qt necessary libs and tools to compile your application. It will also configure Qt creator with an MPU kit. (see How to install Developer Package chapter)

- a  meta layer is also delivered in order to build the full Yocto OSTL Distribution with Qt feature (see How to install Distribution Package chapter)

Today, the current 1.0.0 supports:

- MP2 starter and developer package (debian packages). MP1 support will come before end of 2024

- MP2 and MP15 Distribution packages (recipes). For MP135, there are additional fixes to be delivered. This will be done before end of 2024 as well.

Hope it clarifies a bit,

Philippe.
