Technical Support

Hi Team,
I am working on a project and have a few questions:

  1. Does Toradex Linux support Qt applications?
  2. Is this Linux distribution based on Yocto or is it a standard Linux distribution?
  3. Can I build and run a Qt application on Toradex Linux to showcase SPI, I2C, and GPIO functionalities?

Hello,

  1. Yes, Toradex Linux supports Qt applications. You can develop and run Qt applications on Toradex System on Modules (SoMs) using various methods, including the Boot to Qt software stack, Torizon, and Toradex Reference Images for Yocto Project. Each of these methods provides a different approach to integrating Qt into your project, allowing for flexibility based on your specific requirements.

  2. Toradex Linux distributions are primarily based on the Yocto Project. This means you can customize the Linux image to include Qt and any other libraries or applications you need. The Yocto Project provides a powerful set of tools for building custom Linux distributions tailored to your hardware and software requirements.

  3. Yes, you can build and run a Qt application on Toradex Linux to showcase SPI, I2C, and GPIO functionalities. The Toradex Linux BSPs (Board Support Packages) include support for these interfaces, allowing you to interact with various peripherals from your Qt application. You may need to ensure that your application has the necessary permissions and that the relevant kernel drivers are enabled and configured correctly for your hardware.

Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant

Hi @anchal.r,

Does Toradex Linux support Qt applications?

Yes, Our multimedia reference images includes qt5 packages (BSP 5 & 6). You can also use our Torizon OS where qt6 container are already available

Is this Linux distribution based on Yocto or is it a standard Linux distribution?

Our reference images are build using Yocto project.

Can I build and run a Qt application on Toradex Linux to showcase SPI, I2C, and GPIO functionalities?

Yes, you can access these peripherals from your Qt application.

Does toradex has any support to install Qt version 6.5?

On our linux BSP, only meta-qt5 layer is present, however you are free to try with meta-qt6 but we have not tested it and you need to take care at your end.
