Overview

This topic provides common instructions for the STM platforms supported by Qt Quick Ultralite

Prerequisites

• Download Qt Online installer from Qt account and use it to install Qt for MCUs package.
• Create the Qul_DIR environment variable and set its value to

  <QT_INSTALL_PATH>\QtMCUs\<VERSION>

  where,

  • <QT_INSTALL_PATH> is the Qt install directory,
  • and <VERSION> is the directory containing the Qt Quick Ultralite version you are using, for example 1.1.0.
• Install CMake 3.13 or (newer) and update the System PATH
  • CMake can be installed by the Qt Installer. In that case, the System PATH needs to updated with the following entry

    <QT_INSTALL_PATH>\Tools\CMake_<ARCH>\bin

    where,

    • <QT_INSTALL_PATH> is the Qt install directory,
    • and <ARCH> is the directory name suffix depending on machine's architecture, for example 64
  • For manual installation, download and run CMake installer
    • Remember to select Add CMake to the System PATH for all users or Add CMake to the System PATH for the current user while installing CMake.
• Install Ninja 1.10.0 ( or newer ) and update the System PATH
  • Ninja can be installed by the Qt Installer. In that case, the System PATH needs to updated with the following entry

    <QT_INSTALL_PATH>\Tools\Ninja

    where,

    • <QT_INSTALL_PATH> is the Qt install directory
  • For manual installation, download and unpack Ninja to your desired location
    • Add the following entry to the System PATH

      <NINJA_INSTALL_PATH>

      where, <NINJA_INSTALL_PATH> is the path to the directory to which you've extracted ninja.zip

  Note: Ninja Build is optional and can be replaced with other build system.

• Install ARM Toolchain 8-2019-q3-update and create the ARMGCC_DIR environment variable (Download)
  • The ARMGCC_DIR environment variable should point to the directory where the ARM Toolchain is installed.

    Warning: Ensure that the ARMGCC_DIR choosen during the installation process do not contain any spaces!

• Install STM32CubeProg 2.4.0 ( or newer ) ( Download )
  • Make sure to install CubeProgrammer in the default location ( C:\Program Files\STMicroelectronics\STM32Cube\STM32CubeProgrammer\ ) or add install directory to System PATH
• Install STM32CubeIDE and update the System PATH ( Download )
  • Add ST-LINK_gdbserver.exe directory to System PATH

    <STM32_CUBE_IDE_INSTALL_PATH>\stm32cubeide_1.3.0\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.win32_1.3.0.202002181050\tools\bin

    where, <STM32_CUBE_IDE_INSTALL_PATH> is the Cube IDE install path.

  Note: STM32CubeIDE is optional and required only for on-chip debugging purposes
