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.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the modern software development cycle and learned about CI and unit testing. We also talked about developing on the host before we have the target hardware available and how we can architect our software into layers to make that easier.

In this chapter, we started to develop our BigProject. This project will be followed through the majority of this book and provide the framework to which we will apply the topics we learn about.

Finally, we looked at how we can mock units of the software to allow us to test individual pieces. We also learned about DI, one of the tools that's used to make easily testable code.

The full code for this chapter's incarnation of our BigProject can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Embedded-Programming-with-Qt/tree/master/Chapter05/BigProject.
