You can connect mobile devices to the development PC to build, run, debug, and analyze applications on them from Qt Creator. When you install mobile targets as part of the Qt SDK, the build and run settings for the target devices are set up automatically in Qt Creator. However, Qt SDK does not contain a tool chain for building applications for embedded Linux devices.
You can connect the device to the development PC using a USB connection. Additionally, you can connect Linux-based devices by using a WLAN connection.
If you have a tool chain for building applications for embedded Linux devices (with no MADDE support) installed on the development PC, you can add it to Qt Creator. Create device configurations and select them in the Qt Creator run settings.
MeeGo Harmattan is a Linux-based software platform developed by Nokia and preinstalled on Nokia N950 and Nokia N9. It enables developers to create applications using the Qt framework. Use the SDK Connectivity tool that is preinstalled on the device to create the device-side end point for USB and WLAN connections.
Maemo 5 (Fremantle) is a Linux-based software platform developed by Nokia and delivered on the Nokia N900. Use a connectivity tool (Mad Developer) to create the device-side end point for USB and WLAN connections.
You can run Qt applications on Symbian devices if the software that Qt applications require (typically Qt, Qt Mobility, QtWebkit, and Open C) is installed on the device. On Symbian Anna and later devices, some version of Qt is pre-installed. Install and launch the CODA on-device debugging agent on the devices and connect the devices to the development PC.
