Hello!

To install Qt 5.14.2 on your Toradex Colibri iMX6ULL, please follow these steps:

  1. Set Up Your Working Environment

    • Create a working directory and download the Qt installer:
      [Ubuntu]$ mkdir /work/qt/
[Ubuntu]$ wget https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.14/5.14.2/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.14.2.run
[Ubuntu]$ chmod +x ./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.14.2.run
[Ubuntu]$ mkdir ./inst

  2. Create and Install the SDK

    • Use BitBake to create the SDK and then install it:
      [Ubuntu]$ bitbake meta-toolchain-qt5
[Ubuntu]$ sudo /work/oe-core/build/deploy/sdk/tdx-xwayland-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-qt5-aarch64-verdin-imx8mptoolchain-5.7.0.sh

  3. Prepare a Workspace Directory

    • Create a directory for your workspace:
      [Ubuntu]$ mkdir ./workspace

  4. Create a Qt Creator Launch Script

    • Navigate to your working directory and create a launch script:
      [Ubuntu]$ cd /work/qt/
[Ubuntu]$ gedit ./sdk_qtcreator.sh
    • Add the following content to the script:
      #!/bin/sh
. /opt/tdx-xwayland/5.7.0/environment-setup-aarch64-tdx-linux
./inst/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

  5. Make the Script Executable

    • Ensure the script is executable:
      [Ubuntu]$ chmod +x ./sdk_qtcreator.sh

The Colibri iMX6ULL can efficiently run Qt applications using software rendering, even without a GPU. This module supports basic pixel processing, which is beneficial for tasks like video playback.

For deploying your applications, you can use the Toradex Easy Installer. The latest version supporting the Colibri iMX6ULL is available for download here.

I hope this helps you get started with Qt on your Colibri iMX6ULL!

Hi @Talib

Sorry for the delay.

You can check this page to get an overview about Qt on Torizon OS.

The easiest way is to use the Torizon IDE Extension for VS Code.
