How to run QT embeded on iMX platform

1. Install the Freescale LTIB BSP, for example L2.6.35_11.05.01_ER_source.tar.gz

2. Goto ltib folder build the BSP for iMX board:
$ ./ltib selectype
(1) Select imx5x platform and min profile as followed:

(2) Save and goto next page, change board to mx50_rdp.

(3) In same page, goto Target Image Generation, and select ext2.gz ramdisk image for
SD boot and save.

(4) Goto Package List and select the Tslib to enable touch panel or QT, save.

(5) Save and exit, LTIB will start to build the image.

(6) The rootfs will be built out at ltib folder rootfs.

3. Get the tslib source code from LTIB: $ ./ltib p tslib -m prep; the tslib
source code can be found at ltib/rpm/BUILD/tslib-1.0
4. Set the CROSS_COMPILE for both tslib and QT compiling.
In Ubuntu, the LTIB cross compiler will be installed to /opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc4.4.4-glibc-2.11.1-multilib-1.0.
Edit ~/.bashrc, and add the followed line, then logout and login again:
export PATH=/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.4.4-glibc-2.11.1-multilib-1.0/arm-fsl-linuxgnueabi/bin/:$PATH

5. Build the tslib

$ cd ~/tslib-1.0
$ ./autogen.sh
$ echo "ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes" >arm-linux.cache
$ ./configure --host=arm-linux --cache-file=arm-linux.cache prefix=/home/ubuntu123/tslib
$ make
$ make install
Now tslib head files and lib will be at folder home/ubuntu123/tslib/.

6. Build the QT, the last QT source code can be downloaded from
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src4.7.3.tar.gz.
$ cd ~
$ tar -zxvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz
$ cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3
Edit the file mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++/qmake.conf, and add the line
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -Wl,-rpath-link=/home/ubuntu123/tslib/lib.
$ ./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -prefix ~/qt_demo
-hostprefix ~/qt_target -opensource -qt-mouse-tslib -I ~/tslib/include -L ~/tslib/lib confirm-license
$ make
$ make install
Then the built out QT libs can be found at /home/ubuntu123/qt_target.

7. Prepare the rootfs

(1) Copy /home/ubuntu123/qt_target/* to ltib/rootfs/qt folder; copy
/home/ubuntu123/qt_demo/* to ltib/rootfs/qt.
(2) Edit the file ltib/rootfs/etc/profile, and add the followed lines:
export QTDIR=/qt
export QPEDIR=/qt
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export TSLIB_ROOT=/usr
export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none
export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/ts0
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=$TSLIB_ROOT/lib/ts
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=$TSLIB_ROOT/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/ts0
export QWS_DISPLAY=LinuxFb:/dev/fb0
export set QT_QWS_FONTDIR=$QTDIR/lib/fonts/
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TSLIB_ROOT/lib:$QTDIR/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(3) $ cd ~/ltib/rootfs; $ tar -jcvf ../rootfs.tar.bz2 .; now the rootfs.tar.bz2 can be
burned to iMX board with MFGTool.

8. Run the QT demo

After the board booted up, we can run $ ts_calibrate to calibrate the touch panel; use the
followed commands to run the QT demos.
$ cd /qt/demos/mainwindow
$ ./mainwindow -qws
