+
+ \title Embedded Platforms
+
+ You can develop applications for the following embedded platforms:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l {Bare Metal}
+ \li \l {Boot2Qt}
+ \li \l {Generic Remote Linux}
+ \li \l {Microcontroller Units (MCU)}
+ \li \l QNX
+ \endlist
+
+ You must install the tool chain for building applications for the targeted
+ embedded platform on the development PC and use the Qt Maintenance Tool to
+ install Qt libraries that are built for the platform. You can then add a
+ \l{glossary-buildandrun-kit}{kit} with the tool chain and the Qt version
+ for the device's architecture. When possible, the Maintenance Tool creates
+ suitable kits for you.
+
+ You can connect embedded devices to the development PC to run, debug, and
+ analyze applications built for them from \QC.
+
+ \section1 Bare Metal
+
+ You can run and debug applications on small devices that are not supported
+ by the generic remote Linux device plugin by using GDB or a hardware
+ debugger.
+
+ For more information about developing applications for Bare Metal devices,
+ see \l{Connecting Bare Metal Devices}.
+
+ \section1 Boot2Qt
+
+ The Boot2Qt stack can be made to run on a variety of hardware. For
+ \l{https://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/index.html}{Qt for Device Creation}
+ license holders, tooling is provided to customize the contents of the stack
+ as well as to take it into desired production hardware.
+
+ Either Windows 7 or later or Ubuntu Linux 64-bit 12.04 LTS
+ or later is required to install and use Qt for Device Creation.
+
+ The following topics contain more information about developing applications
+ for Boot2Qt devices:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l{https://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/qtee-supported-platforms.html}
+ {Reference Target Devices and Development Hosts}
+ \li \l{https://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/b2qt-installation-guides.html}
+ {Installation Guides}
+ \li \l{Specifying Run Settings for Boot2Qt Devices}
+ \li \l{https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-overview-qtasam.html}
+ {Qt Creator Plugin for Qt Application Manager}
+ \li \l{https://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/index.html}
+ {Qt for Device Creation}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 Generic Remote Linux
+
+ You must have a tool chain for building applications for embedded Linux
+ devices installed on the development PC.
+
+ The following topics contain more information about developing applications
+ for generic remote Linux devices:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l{Connecting Generic Remote Linux Devices}
+ \li \l{Deploying Applications to Generic Remote Linux Devices}
+ \li \l{Specifying Run Settings for Linux-Based Devices}
+ \li \l{Running on Generic Remote Linux Devices}
+ \li \l{https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-overview-qtasam.html}
+ {Qt Creator Plugin for Qt Application Manager}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 Microcontroller Units (MCU)
+
+ You need the GNU Arm Embedded GCC compiler, libraries, and other GNU tools
+ necessary for bare metal software development on devices based on the Arm
+ Cortex-M processors.
+
+ The following topics contain more information about developing applications
+ for MCUs:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l{Connecting MCUs}
+ \li \l{Running Applications on MCUs}
+ \li \l{https://doc.qt.io/QtForMCUs/index.html}{Qt for MCUs}
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 QNX
+
+ The QNX Neutrino RTOS should provide a few additional command line tools
+ and services, as described in \l {Qt Creator Target Requirements}.
+
+ The following topics contain more information about developing applications
+ for QNX devices:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l{Connecting QNX Devices}
+ \li \l{Deploying Applications to QNX Neutrino Devices}
+ \li \l{Specifying Run Settings for QNX Devices}
+ \li \l{Running on QNX Devices}
+ \li \l{Qt for QNX}
+ \endlist
