A script for build Qt application for board arm-

A script build-armsys-6410.sh to build the Qt application for board armsys6410.
  • Cross-compiler is located at /usr/local/arm/4.2.2-eabi/usr/bin
  • Built Qt by the cross-compiler is installed at  /usr/local/qt-4.7.1-armsys-6410/bin/qmake
  • Built Tslib by the cross-compiler is installed at /usr/local/tslib/lib

U-Boot Arguments of armsys-6420










NFS boot:


 setenv bootargs "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.2.118:/home/max/work/arena/rootf/armsys6410/root/ ip=192.168.2.10:192.168.2.118:192.168.2.1:255.255.255.0:armsys.hzlitai.com:eth0:off console=ttySAC0,115200"
Here /home/localhost/armsys6410/root is the file system located at my host machine. 192.168.2.10 is the static ip of board, while 192.168.2.118 should be ip of host machine, 192.168.2.1 is the gateway of the LAN, if the board is directly connect to host, the gateway ip is same as host ip, i.e, 192.168.2.118 here.



boot from nandflash 


setenv bootargs "root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=yaffs2 console=ttySAC0,115200" 
setenv bootcmd nand read 0xc0008000 0x100000 0x300000\;bootm 0xc0008000 
After changing the bootargs, run the following commands to save it and reboot again.


>saveenv
>reset

tslib Error & Solution










Task: Build Qt 4.7.1 for board armsys-6410. 



Toolchain: supplier provided toolchain (4.2.2-eabi-arm)



Error: When start a Qt example, the following error message show 




QWSTslibMouseHandlerPrivate: ts_config() failed with error: 'No such file or directory'
Please check your tslib installation!


The problem is solved by following:



Download & build the latest tslib again from http://tslib.berlios.de/






> tar xzvf tslib-1.4.gz

 > cd tslib

 >./autogen.sh

 >./configure -host=arm-linux -prefix=/usr/local/tslib
>make

>make install
Qt was successfully build with the toolchain: 


./configure -prefix /usr/local/qt-4.7.1-armsys-6410 -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -depths 16 -qt-mouse-tslib -I/usr/local/tslib/include -L/usr/local/tslib/lib -R /usr/local/tslib/lib -xmlpatterns -exceptions
make

make install
Copy the installed Qt into root file system, which will be nfs mounted by board


sudo cp -rf /usr/local/qt-4.7.1-armsys-6410 /home/max/work/arena/rootf/armsys6410/root/usr/local/ 
Start the board by nfs mounting  /home/max/work/arena/rootf/armsys6410/root/

I use minicom here, the parameters are


setenv bootargs "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.2.118:/home/max/work/arena/rootf/armsys6410/root/ ip=192.168.2.10:192.168.2.118:192.168.2.1:255.255.255.0:armsys.hzlitai.com:eth0:off console=ttySAC0,115200" 
Check the device file of touchscreen. Assume the device of board is /dev/input/event1


cat /dev/input/event1| hexdump
Now when you move the mouse in the touchscreen, the similar texts will be displayed on the console. It means that /dev/input/event1 is the correct device file of touchscreen on board.

 export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=$TSLIB_ROOT/lib/ts

 export QPEDIR=/usr/local/qt-4.7.1-armsys-6410
 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/tslib/lib:$QTDIR/bin
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:/usr/local/tslib/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH













Run calibration again.


/usr/local/tslib/bin/ts_calibrate 
Try a Qt example,


/usr/local/qt-4.7.1-armsys-6410/examples/widgets/calculator/calculator -qws


The error messages didn't show again.
