[meta-ti] Qt/TI question

[Sundareson, Prabindh]

Yes - that would be the goal, and we can review the patches as well.

The meta-qt5 recipes will also be changed, so ensure they are copied in the discussions,

regards,
Prabu

Hi there,

This is a bot off-topic, so if you know a better mailing list for this kind of things, please let me know.

I'm thinking about making a request on the qt-devel mailing list, and of course I am willing to provide work to get this feature working.

Qt comes with a list of supported devices [1], of which are the beagleboard and the pandaboard. It would be nice to have as well the beaglebone. A simple first step would be to add a mkspecs to the qt-platform-mkspec project [2].

Up to know, this is all off-topic, but:
The mkspecs simply specify compiler flags (C, CPP and LD) and point to a cross-toolchain. [3] is the example for omap3430.
I don't know who wrote that one, but it refers to a "beagle-narc-rootfs" 
and a Code Sourcery "arm-2010q1" (I assume it is CS because of the "q1" 
part).

And that's where meta-ti/arago could step in, because it is a toolchain/rootfs provider for TI SoCs.

Right now, I'm trying to build arago/dylan SDK with gles support. If it works, then the generated SDK could be used to allow building Qt4/5 out of yocto via the qt-platform-mkspecs.

Once this is showed to be working, a pull request could be made to qt-platform-mkspecs, and start a discussion on having the beaglebone added to the list of supported device and add a page on qt-project wiki a bit like the one for the beagleboard[4].

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Chris
