It allows developers to create applications using the Qt framework. You can install and configure the whole tool chain that you need to create, build, debug, run, and deploy Harmattan applications as part of the \QSDK. \if defined(qcmanual) For more information about the Harmattan platform, see \l{http://library.developer.nokia.com/topic/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_API/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_Harmattan_overview_5dcf.html} {Harmattan Overview} in the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Developer Library. \endif \note \QSDK does not contain the tool chains for building applications for other MeeGo devices than MeeGo Harmattan. You can try to run applications from \QC on other MeeGo devices, but it has not been extensively tested, and the instructions might not always apply. \note The only supported build system for Harmattan in \QC is qmake. \section1 Setting Up Connectivity in Harmattan Devices To build and run Qt applications for Harmattan, you need a Harmattan device: Nokia N950 or Nokia N9. You can connect your device to your development PC using either a USB or WLAN connection. For the device, you need to use the SDK Connectivity tool that is preinstalled on the device to create the device-side end point for USB and WLAN connections. It provides no diagnostics functions but is essential for creating connections between the device and your development PC. To use a WLAN connection, you must activate WLAN on the device and connect it to the same WLAN as the development PC. The network address is displayed in the connectivity tool. To use a USB connection, you might need to set up the device as a network device on the development PC. However, on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows 7, the USB interface is usually automatically configured. \note If you plan to connect your development PC to the device only over WLAN, you can ignore the USB-specific parts in the following sections. \section2 Starting SDK Connectivity SDK Connectivity application is preinstalled in Harmattan devices and available in developer mode. To start SDK Connectivity: \list \o On the device, select \gui {Settings > Security > Developer mode} to turn on developer mode. \o Select \gui {Applications > SDK Connectivity} to start the SDK Connectivity application. \o Select \gui {Select Connection} and then select the type of the connection to create: \gui WLAN or \gui USB. \o For a USB connection, select the operating system of the development PC in \gui {Select Module}. \endlist \gui {Connectivity Details} displays the IP address and developer password. The address 192.168.2.15 is used by default. You must enter the password in \QC. For more information, see \l{Configuring Connections to Harmattan Devices}. \section1 Setting Up Network Connectivity on Development PC Use the network configuration tools on your platform to specify the connection to the device on the development PC. You need to do this only if you use a USB connection. The device uses the IP address 192.168.2.15 with the subnet 255.255.255.0 for its USB connection by default, so you can create the network interface with a different address inside the same subnet too. \note If you have changed the IP address of the device in the connectivity tool, you need to reflect those changes in your development PC USB network settings. \section2 Linux The USB interface is automatically configured. If, for some reason, that is not the case, run the following command in a shell as root user to create a new network interface: \c{ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.14 up} \section2 Mac OS X The USB interface is automatically configured. If, for some reason, that is not the case, create a new network interface manually: \list \o Open the network settings. \o Click the + button on the network settings panel. \o When the interface is available, select \gui {Configure IPv4 > Using DHCP with manual address}. \o Enter the address 192.168.2.14 into the IP address field. \o Click \gui Apply. The network connection between your device and workstation is now configured. \endlist \section2 Windows 7 When you connect your device to your Windows 7 computer, Windows installs a driver for the Linux USB Ethernet connection automatically. If the installation does not start, unplug the USB cable and try another USB port on your computer. \note Driver installation takes some time. The USB interface is automatically configured. If, for some reason, that is not the case, create a new network interface manually: \list 1 \o Open the \gui {Network and Sharing Center} and select \gui {Change adapter settings}. The Linux USB Ethernet connection you just installed is displayed as a new \gui {Local Area Connection Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget}. \note If you cannot see \gui {Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget}, try to unplug and replug the USB cable. \o Right-click \gui {Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget} and select \gui Properties. \o Edit the \gui {Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)} properties to specify the IP address for the connection. In the \gui {Use the following IP address} field, enter the following values: \list \o \gui {IP Address}: \bold {192.168.2.14} \o \gui SubnetMask: \bold {255.255.255.0} \o \gui {Default gateway}: leave this field empty \endlist \endlist \section2 Windows XP If you develop on Windows XP and use a USB connection to run applications on the device, you need the Nokia USB drivers that are installed as part of the \QSDK. When you connect the device to your Windows PC, Windows tries to install a driver for the Linux USB Ethernet connection. In the \gui{Found New Hardware Wizard}, select \gui{No, not this time} in the first dialog and \gui{Install the software automatically} in the second dialog. To specify a network connection: \list 1 \o Open the Network Connections window. \o Select the Linux USB Ethernet connection that is displayed as a new Local Area Connection. \o Edit the \gui {Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)} properties to specify the IP address for the connection. In the \gui {Use the following IP address} field, enter the following values: \list \o \gui {IP Address}: \bold {192.168.2.14} \o \gui SubnetMask: \bold {255.255.255.0} \o \gui {Default gateway}: leave this field empty \endlist \endlist Depending on your version of Microsoft Windows you may have to unplug and re-plug the device to reload the driver with its configuration accordingly. \section1 Configuring Connections to Harmattan Devices To be able to run and debug applications on the emulator and devices, you must set up connections to the emulator and devices in the \QC build and run settings. If you install \QSDK, the connection to the emulator is configured automatically and you only need to configure a connection to the device. You use a wizard to create the connections. You can edit the settings later in \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui Devices. \image qtcreator-meego-device-configurations.png "Devices dialog" By default, you create the connection as the \e developer user. This protects real user data on the device from getting corrupted during testing. If you write applications that use Qt Mobility APIs, you might want to test them with real user data. To create a connection as a user, specify the \gui Username and \gui Password in \QC. For more information, see \if defined(qcmanual) \l{Testing with User Data on MeeGo Devices}. \else \l{http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator/creator-developing-meego.html#testing-with-user-data-on-meego-devices} {Testing with User Data on MeeGo Devices}. \endif You can protect the connections between \QC and a device by using either a password or an SSH key. If you use a password, you must generate it in the connectivity tool and enter it in \QC every time you start the connectivity tool. If you do not have an SSH key, you can create it in \QC. Encrypted keys are not supported. For more information, see \if defined(qcmanual) \l{Generating SSH Keys}. \else \l{http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator/creator-developing-meego.html#generating-ssh-keys} {Generating SSH Keys}. \endif You can view processes running on devices and kill them. For more information, see \if defined(qcmanual) \l{Managing Device Processes}. \else \l{http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator/creator-developing-meego.html#managing-device-processes} {Managing Device Processes}. \endif To configure connections between \QC and a device: \list 1 \o To deploy applications and run them remotely on devices, specify parameters for accessing devices: \list a \o Connect your device to the development PC via a USB cable or a WLAN.
