-
- Take the following steps to prepare a
- \l{http://www.google.com/nexus/7/specs/}{Nexus 7 (2012/2013)} for
- \B2Q.
-
- \note The installation process will wipe the device. Make sure to
- backup any personal data. The device can later be restored to
- factory state, see \l{nexus-factory-reset}{Troubleshooting}.
-
- The Nexus 7 must have the same Android main version (e.g. \c{4.2}
- or \c{4.4}) as the generic \B2Q eAndroid stack that is to be
- installed. If needed, you can update the Android version either by
- using Android's upgrading tool, or by flashing a factory image of
- the right version. See \l{nexus-factory-reset}{Troubleshooting}.
-
- \section1 Enabling Developer Mode
-
- In order to install the \B2Q stack into the Nexus 7, you need to
- enable developer mode and USB debugging. This is only needed for
- the first time install.
-
- \note If for some reason the device does not boot up normally, it
- is also possible to install to a Nexus 7 started up in
- \c{fastboot} (bootloader) mode (see
- \l{nexus-factory-reset}{Troubleshooting}). Just skip this section
- and add the \c{-fastboot} argument to the \c{deploy.sh} command
- below.
-
- \list 1
- \li Power up the device.
- \li Open the \b{Settings} app and select the \b{About tablet} item.
- \li Press the \b{Build number} item seven times, until the message "You are now a developer!" appears.
-
- \li Back in the \b{Settings} menu, select \b{Developer options}.
- \li Press the \b{USB debugging} item and confirm that you allow USB debugging.
- \endlist
-
- You should now be able to establish USB connection to the device as follows.

- \section1 Deploying the \B2Q Stack

- \include common.qdocinc wizard
-
- Depending on the edition of your Nexus 7 device, use one of the
- commands below to install the \B2Q stack. Replace \c{X.Y} with the
- device's Android version number, for example \c{4.2} or \c{4.4}.
-
- \note The deploy script will check that the connected Nexus device
- is of the expected type and Android version, and abort the
- installation if it is not.

To enable C++11 features in the compiler, add \e{CONFIG += c++11} to the .pro file.
- On Embedded Linux this will be enough because there the toolchain contains a more
- recent version of gcc (4.8.x). On Embedded Android however the toolchain is based on
- gcc 4.6. This offers limited support for C++11 and Qt's own C++11 support is disabled,
- meaning that adding \e{c++11} to \e{CONFIG} will have no effect. There is still a
