Hello to everyone! I have a mini6410 and I want to start developing apps. I managed to install python because I have a good experience with this language, but I have read that many people are programming in QT? Why I should use QT and not python, java or C++?? I really want to use Python ,what do you think?? Thanks very much!!
Lucky you, I cant get my head around any of those, only understand VS C#, and they are suck.
Programming in C and/or C++ is certainly recommended on embedded systems because of the hardware limitations. As an interpreted language, Python is not as efficient as compiled languages such as C and C++. Qt (with C++) is the base of the default desktop environment (Qtopia) on mini6410, therefore is the framework most used by people programming on it. C is also fine, as the underlying system is based on Linux, which is developed with C. Installing Windows CE and Android is easy with FriendlyARM devices, so of course C# and Java can be used, only that they are less popular. If you're just starting to learn to program on embedded devices, and hope to use mini6410 to do so, I would recommend C, C++ and Qt because Linux is the most used in embedded systems, and also Qt is a cross-platform framework (on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows). The Java-Android combination will probably be more and more popular in the future, but if you're trying to learn Android programming, mini6410 is not a good choice because the support is still a bit lacking...
Hello rob, If you want to get an idea of performance between C and Python, you can visit this site: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ urnausjr is right, C and C + + languages are best suited to develop in the embedded world. Best regards,
Hi! I have mini 6410 too. but I don't know how to write a program on it and run . Which compiler we use for it. I couldn't understand that . pleaseee help meee:(
