Qt for Device Creation supports a variety of hardware. Embedded Reference Target Devices lists the supported reference target devices for Boot to Qt Software Stack. Supported Development Hosts defines the supported development environments for Qt for Device Creation. For more information about the supported platforms in Qt, see Supported Platforms.

Embedded Reference Target Devices

The embedded reference target devices are listed in the following table. The devices are listed under vendors and grouped by model names.

Note: Other Embedded Hardware Targets lists devices that are also known to work well with Qt.

For more information about the Qt support levels, see Standard and Premium Support.

Other Embedded Hardware Targets

The following table below lists hardware targets that are known to work well with Qt. The list is not complete and you should note that you can run Qt on almost all hardwares that support Linux, POSIX layers, recent C++ 11 compiler, and toolchain.

Accessing Qt Deliveries

The delivery model defines how the Qt source code and binaries are provided for you. You have an access to the Qt deliveries with at least one of the following ways:

• Qt online installer
• Via Qt account
• Through a separate download
• Through Qt Professional Services

The separate downloads are Qt Board Support Packages (QBSP) that are available via Qt Account Downloads. QBSP packages may also be available through the corresponding vendor pages.

For more information about QBSP, see Qt Board Support Packages.

Standard and Premium Support

Qt provides different support levels in order to help you with technical challenges and to suggest best practices. Qt Support describes the available support levels and what is included in them. See License Agreements and Service Terms for the latest version of the Qt license agreements and the support terms and conditions for the Qt account.

Qt Professional Services

Qt Professional Services provides support for porting Qt to different target hardwares. For example, your project may have minimal Qt and QPA (Qt Platform Adaptation layer) source code delivery. On the other hand, your project can be mature turnkey solution that contains customer applications and maintenance.

Supported Target Operating System Versions

In Qt for Device Creation, the supported target operating system versions are:

• Embedded Linux based on Yocto 2.6.2 (Thud)
• QNX 7.0
• INTEGRITY 11.44 including patches (and GHS compiler 2016.5.4 or 2017.1)
• VxWorks

The following Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) versions are used in Qt's internal test environment:

Emulator Support

Support for the emulator is limited to the Qt for Device Creation release and pre-compiled emulator images it shipped with. Using the emulator application to run images from previous releases is not supported.

Supported Development Hosts

The development hosts supported by Qt for Device Creation are:

• Ubuntu Linux 64-bit (16.04 LTS or later)
• Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit
• Windows 10 32-bit and 64-bit

Note: Support for macOS 10.10 (or later) with a limited functionality has been provided for some customers by Qt Consulting Services. For more information, contact us.

Support Lifecycle Policy

Release dates and support end-of-life dates for each Qt version are listed in Supported Platforms and Configurations.
