Device Information

The ST7105 is made by "STMicroelectronics":http://www.st.com/internet/imag_video/product/216978.jsp.

• "The STi7105 is targeted at the latest Operator and CE manufacturer requirements for STBs which utilize advanced HD decoding (H264/VC- 1/MPEG2), and which conform to DVB, ISMA, ATIS-IIF, SCTE, DirecTV, ATSC, ARIB, CEA, ITU, OpenCable and MSTV specifications."

• [1] STi7105 Low cost advanced HD decoding IC for STB and iDTV

Software

1. STM SDK 3.6A
2. "STLinux-2.4":http://www.stlinux.com/install
3. sh4-linux crosstools from STM

h3. Compiling Qt 4.8.0

Set the development environment variables using following commands

 cd /path/to/STM_SDK_3.6A/bin/
 source /path/to/STM_SDK_3.6A/bin/setenv.sh IPTV7105_7105_LINUX

Configure, build and install Qt 4.8.0 as

 $ /path/to/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/configure -opensource -confirm-license -verbose -release -shared  -no-rpath -system-zlib -system-libjpeg -system-libpng -qt3support -qt-sql-sqlite -xmlpatterns -exceptions  -declarative -script -scripttools -webkit -no-javascript-jit -qt-gfx-linuxfb -qt-gfx-transformed -qt-gfx-vnc  -qt-gfx-multiscreen -qt-kbd-linuxinput -qt-mouse-linuxinput -make libs -make tools -make examples -make demos  -make docs -make translations -platform qws/linux-x86-g''+ —prefix=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-qws/  -xplatform qws/linux-sh4-ST7105-g++ -embedded sh4 -little-endian -qt-gfx-directfb -no-dbus
 $ make
 $ make install

After the build succeeds set following environment variables before building any Qt Apps,

1. QTDIR=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-qws/
2. PATH=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-qws/bin/
