Installing JDK
Please download "jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin" manually, put it to directory ~/FILES/ and perform the following commands:
$ cd /usr/lib $ sudo ~/FILES/jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin $ sudo mkdir jvm $ cd jvm $ sudo mv ../jdk1.6.0_45 . $ cd jdk1.6.0_45/ $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/bin/java 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javac 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/jar 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javap javap /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javap 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javadoc javadoc /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javadoc 2 $ sudo update-alternatives --config javap $ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc $ sudo update-alternatives --config java $ sudo update-alternatives --config javac $ sudo update-alternatives --config jar $ cd ~/ $ sudo sh -c "echo "JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45" >> /etc/environment"
Installing cross toolchain
Please use bitbake command to build one toolchain installer or get a pre-built one.
Qt4 SDK
- Please perform following command to make toolchain installer.
$ bitbake fsl-image-x11 -c populate-sdk
- Please change working directory to where installer located and perform the following command.
$ sudo ./poky-eglibc-x86_64-fsl-image-x11-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-toolchain-qt4-1.5.3.sh
Qt5 SDK
- Please perform following command to make toolchain installer.
$ bitbake fsl-image-x11-qt5 -c populate-sdk
- Please change working directory to where installer located and perform the following command.
$ sudo ./poky-eglibc-x86_64-fsl-image-x11-qt5-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-toolchain-1.5.3.sh
Working within QtCreator 3 (Qt4/Qt5)
Installing the QtCreator
Please download "qt-creator-opensource-linux-x86_64-3.1.2.run", put it to directory ~/FILES/ and install it by following command:
$ ~/FILES/qt-creator-opensource-linux-x86_64-3.1.2.run
Starting the QtCreator
$ source /opt/poky/1.5.3/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi $ cd ~/qtcreator-3.1.2/ $ bin/qtcreator
- The QtCreator's main window shows up.
- Check QtCreator's version by using "Help" -> "About Qt Creator".
Configuring the Cross-Compiler Options
- Bring up the options dialog using "Tools" -> "Options..."
- Select the "Devices" page on the left, and click "Add..."
- Select "Generic Linux Device" and click "Start Wizard".
- Specify proper settings and click "Next>"
- Click "Finish"
- Device test finished successfully. Click "Close".
- Click "Apply"
- Select the "Build & Run" page on the left, switch to "Compilers" tab, drop down "Add" menu and choose "GCC".
- Name the compiler as "iMX6 GCC"
