The following instructions are based on DHCOM STM32MP1 computer on module and Yocto version "zeus"


Prepairing your virtual machine

Get the Virtual Machine for Application Development.

Install the following package:

$ sudo apt-get install qtcreator qt5default

Download and install the SDK package

Get the QT5 SDK for STM32mp1

Unpack the archive and install the toolchain.

$ sh ./dhlinux-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-qt5-cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-toolchain-nodistro.0.sh

Choose the installation directory (default: /opt/dhlinux/nodistro.0/).

The toolchain is now installed to your system.

Configure Qt Creator

Run QT Creator

In Qt Creator go to Tools > Options > Devices and add your Wandboard as a generic linux device.

go to Tools > Options > Build & Run and:

Add a new c++ compiler. Select your compiler: /opt/dhlinux/nodistro.0/sysroots/x86_64-oesdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-dhlinux-linux-gnueabi/arm-dhlinux-linux-gnueabi-g++

Add a new debugger. Select your debugger: /opt/dhlinux/nodistro.0/sysroots/x86_64-oesdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-dhlinux-linux-gnueabi/arm-dhlinux-linux-gnueabi-gdb

Add your Qt version by selecting the qmake located in /opt/dhlinux/nodistro.0/sysroots/x86_64-oesdk-linux/usr/bin/qmake

Add a new kit selecting your new Qt5 version and compiler and setting the sysroot to /opt/dhlinux/nodistro.0/sysroots/cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-dhlinux-linux-gnueabi and leave the Qt mkspec empty. Then select your device

As the final point you have to set the environment of the kit: Select "Change" at "Environment:". Now a window for editing text opens. Copy all environment variables (all lines with "export"-statement) from the environment setup script /opt/dhlinux/nodistro.0/environment-setup-cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-dhlinux-linux-gnueabi and its imported files (at the end of the script) into the window. Each line should contain one environment variable assignment and "export" has to be removed.
