Hands-On Embedded Programming with Qt

By: John Werner

Overview of this book

Qt is an open source toolkit suitable for cross-platform and embedded application development. This book uses inductive teaching to help you learn how to create applications for embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) devices with Qt 5. You’ll start by learning to develop your very first application with Qt. Next, you’ll build on the first application by understanding new concepts through hands-on projects and written text. Each project will introduce new features that will help you transform your basic first project into a connected IoT application running on embedded hardware. In addition to gaining practical experience in developing an embedded Qt project, you will also gain valuable insights into best practices for Qt development and explore advanced techniques for testing, debugging, and monitoring the performance of Qt applications. The examples and projects covered throughout the book can be run both locally and on an embedded platform. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to use Qt 5 to confidently develop modern embedded applications.

Section 3: Deep Dive into Embedded Qt

In the previous section, we covered a great deal of material, including different GUIs and a slew of Qt features. Now, we will start learning more directly about using Qt in an embedded way. We begin in Chapter 8, Qt in the Embedded World, by taking a look at where Qt fits in the embedded market and the different Qt packages that are available to make it even easier to develop your embedded product. In Chapter 9, Exploring the IoT with Qt, we will learn about just a few of the IoT features that Qt offers as BigProject becomes a connected project. Chapter 10, Using More Qt-Related Technologies, adds more features to BigProject as we learn how about Qt's support for interprocess communication and develop a web-based GUI.

The following chapters will be covered in this section:
