Doc: split up the docs into multiple files
Split up the monolithic b2qt.qdoc into separate documentation
files, making future edits and maintenance easier.
Device-specific instructions are created in devices/ subdirectory,
and shared documentation (referenced in multiple places) are
moved to shared/.

You can + use the same tools to build custom \B2Q images, and have control over + which packages are included in the build and how the software stack + is configured. + + \section2 Note About Support Services for Yocto Tools + + By default, Digia will only provide customer support for the Yocto + recipes on the reference platforms, as delivered with \SDK, and + setting up the development environment for them. Receiving support + for any other configuration requires a separate service agreement + between a customer and Digia. + + \section1 Requirements + + You should be familiar with the Yocto tools and the concept of + \e {recipes}. For more information, see Yocto Project + \l{https://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/current}{documentation}. + + To get started, you need the following: + + \list + \li Install the \B2Q \e source packages. You can + find these by running the \e MaintenanceTool application + located in the \SDK installation directory and selecting + \e {Package Manager}. The \e {Yocto meta layer} package + contains the additional recipes required to make the image + compatible with \B2Q. + \li Install the dependencies for the Yocto tools.

The following script does this for you. + + \badcode + <INSTALL_DIR>/Boot2Qt-3.x/sources/b2qt-build-scripts/embedded-common/setup_qtcreator.sh + \endcode + + This will set up a new kit in Qt Creator, using the toolchain and Qt from + your build directory.
