\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
