Hello!

To deploy a Qt application on Torizon OS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set Up Your Development Environment: Begin by installing the necessary tools and libraries for Qt development. This includes the TorizonCore SDK, which provides essential libraries and tools for building applications on Torizon OS.

  2. Create a Docker Container: Torizon OS supports containerized applications, so you’ll need to create a Docker container for your Qt application. Write a Dockerfile that specifies the base image (such as TorizonCore), installs the required Qt libraries, and copies your application files into the container.

  3. Build and Deploy the Docker Image: Use Docker command line tools to build the Docker image from your Dockerfile. Once built, you can push the image to a container registry and then pull it onto your Torizon OS device to run your Qt application.

  4. Test Your Application: After deploying, test your application on the Torizon OS device to ensure it functions correctly. You can use the Torizon IDE or command line tools for deployment and testing to identify any compatibility or performance issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully deploy your Qt application on Torizon OS.

Hi @Waunye11

@ToradexAI answer is mostly correct.
To use QT on Torizon you need to add all dependencies and run the app inside a container.

We have a QT6 C++/QML and a QT5 Python/pyside2 templates on the VS Code IDE extension.
It is a good starting point.
