Hi is there a tutorial to create and install a GUI applications for Qtopia, I seen this guide http://farm2440.blogspot.com/2010/07/hello-world-with-gui-application-fo... It tells you to go to the download page but I don't know what to download and what to install to get to write an application and installed.
You should have development tools ARM-Linux GCC 4.3.2 and ARM-Qtopia 2.2.0 already installed. ARM-Linux GCC 4.3.2 http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz ARM-Qtopia 2.2.0 http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=arm-qtopia-2.2.0_20100108.tgz Don't know if I would be spending my "learning time" on 2.2.0. Also, I'd suggest starting off with something a bit less demanding as you couldn't find the programs required. Some excellent beginner's material at: http://www.oselas.org/oselas/bsp/pengutronix/mini2440_bsp_en.html Spending your time learning to use a BSP will qickly allow you to write applications, rather than spending all your time trying to get the development board working properly. Just my 2 cents worth. Dave
Thank you Dave, so for GUI applications, this link http://www.oselas.org/oselas/bsp/pengutronix/mini2440_bsp_en.html would be the best way to go?, is ARM-Qtopia 2.2.0 becoming obsolete or is just hard to get something running with that?
You can probably still write useful applications using 2.2.0 and it could be a good learning exercise. But, is it good use of your time? The latest Pengutronix BSP has a qt4-demo included that shows you how a Qt project is setup. There is not a specific tutorial written yet. I have build my own /demos/browser using the 2011.07 version of the BSP. They have 2 forums, one for mini2440 related stuff and another for PTXdist related stuff. I'd suggest only accessing the first one as the second forum seems to be more for developers. Maybe, if you give me some idea of what you want to do or learn I could give you further suggestions.
Well my idea is to create an application to control the LEDS or receive data from the buttons. similar to the one installed on the mini2440, for something like that would be better to use Pengutronix BSP?
Sounds like a good introductory exercise. The QuickStart manual has a section on the LEDs and buttons. You'll have to hit the Nokia site for docs on how to build the GUI app. I have a draft tutorial of what I had to do with the BSP to do my own Qt project. When you have got the LEDS and buttons working I'll post the draft.
If you still want it, i've posted some tutorials on how to build some QT application using the pengutronix mini2440 BSP (not qtopia) but you could run the same code in qtopia too.. http://wingston.workshopindia.com/wingz/qt-application-to-control-all-th...
