Qt on the BeagleBoard / BeagleBoard-xM

Hardware Specs |. | BeagleBoard|. BeagleBoard-xM| |Architecture|ARMv7|| |RAM|256MB|512MB| |OpenGL|OpenGL ES 2.0|| |Qt 5.0 (eglfs/QPA)|with OpenGL ES 2.0||

Device Information / Hardware

The BeagleBoard is an OMAP3530 platform for Open Source Community.

Software provided by Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments provides the Linux Digital Video Software Development Kit (DVSDK). You can download it from [1] (registration required).

Or you can use Ångström. If you would like to build Ångström environment by yourself, you should build "libgles-omap3" package for OpenGL ES. If you would like to download the SDK from online builder ( Narcissus), you should check "PowerVR SGX drivers for OMAP3".

Preparing environments for Qt

Both of Building Ångström and Using Narcissus are tested on March 20, 2012 on Ubuntu 10.04.

Building Ångström

Please see also Building Ångström.

$ git clone git://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts.git
$ cd setup-scripts
$ MACHINEh1.beagleboard ./oebb.sh config beagleboard
$ MACHINEh1.beagleboard ./oebb.sh update
$ MACHINEh1.beagleboard ./oebb.sh bitbake virtual/kernel
$ MACHINEh1.beagleboard ./oebb.sh bitbake console-image
$ MACHINEh1.beagleboard ./oebb.sh bitbake libgles-omap3

PATH of toolchain is build/tmp-angstrom_2010_x-eglibc/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi

PATH of sysroot is build/tmp-angstrom_2010_x-eglibc/sysroots/beagleboard/

It's tested using below repositories.

Using Narcissus(Online Builder)

Visit to http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org.
Select Options. (ex.)

Base settings: ; Select the machine you want to build your rootfs image for : "beagleboard" '; Choose the complexity of the options below. : "advanced" Advanced settings: ; Select the release you want to base your rootfs image on. : "2011.03" ; SDK type: "full SDK for generated filesystem" ; User environment selection: "Console only" Additional packages selection: ; Texas Instruments OMAP3x/AM3x family: * Bootloader Files (x-load/u-boot/scripts) * PowerVR SGX drivers for OMAP3

Click "Build me!"
Download the SDK and rootfs archives.
extract SDK archive to /

$ tar zxvf Angstrom-2012.03-narcissus-beagleboard-i686-random-f386277f-image-sdk.tar.gz -C /

PATH of toolchain is /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/

PATH of sysroot is /usr/local/angstrom/arm/

Preparing mkspecs

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-platform-mkspecs/qt-platform-mkspecs.git
$ cp -r qt-platform-mkspecs/5.0/linux-omap3430-g+''/ <qtbase>/mkspecs/

Adjust the qmake.conf of the *linux-omap3430-g* mkspec to fit your crosscompiler toolchain and sysroot.

Building Qt

This will build everything in-source, if you want to build out-of-source execute configure and qmake for additional modules from within a separate empty folder.

qtbase

$ cd <qtbase>
$ ./configure -prefix <your prefix>  -release -make libs -xplatform linux-omap3430-g''+  -opengl es2 -no-xcb
$ make install
$ make install -C src/plugins/platforms/eglfs

qtjsbackend

$ <your prefix>/bin/qmake
$ make
$ make install

qtdeclarative

$ <your prefix>/bin/qmake
$ make
$ make install
