Set Up Qt Application Manager Devices
Add a Qt Application Manager Device in Qt Creator
You need to set up a Qt Application Manager device to deploy and run applications on them from within Qt Creator. Currently, the Qt Application Manager plugin supports three different kinds of devices. The setup procedure only varies slightly.
Note: Regardless of the device type you need to have a working and valid Qt Application Manager installation on the target device.
To connect a working device do the following:
- Select Tools > Options > Devices.
- Depending on the device type:
- For the desktop PC, use
localhost, as for a Remote Linux device. For more information, see Connecting Remote Linux Devices. - For Remote Linux devices, see Connecting Remote Linux Devices
- For Boot to Qt devices, follow the corresponding device wizard steps.
Currently, the plugin doesn't support other device types.
- For the desktop PC, use
You can change the Application Manager binary directory later on in the Kits settings specifying AppManager path.
Add a Qt Version for Qt Automotive Suite
Before setting up the kit you need to add your Qt Automotive Suite version to Qt Creator. In general, this procedure is the same as adding any Qt version to the Qt Creator.
Note: The Qt version for Qt Automotive Suite is detected when the appman-packager binary is found in the same folder as qmake.
For more information, see Adding Qt Versions.
Add Kits for Qt Application Manager Devices
By default, the automatically detected Qt Application Manager kit supports Boot2Qt devices only. All detected Boot2Qt Kits will then be cloned automatically, when Qt Creator starts up. Use these Kits for Remote Linux targets. To cross-compile for your target, you also need to set the correct sysroot and compiler.
Note: If you notice there's a warning about the device type not being supported by the Qt version, it is safe to ignore it.
