Connecting MCUs with Qt Creator

With Qt for MCUs you can develop applications for desktop and for specific MCU target devices using either Linux or Windows as the development host environment.

When developing for desktop, you first need to install the MCU prerequisites for desktop. After installing the prerequisites, you need to create a MCU kit for desktop to set up the necessary environment for Qt Creator to build the Qt for MCUs application for the desktop target.

If you want to start developing for a specific MCU target device, you first need to install both the common and MCU target device-specific prerequisites. After installing all the required prerequisites, you can launch Qt Creator and create a MCU kit for a target device to set up the necessary environment for Qt Creator to build and run the Qt for MCUs application on the MCU target device.

For examples on how to use Qt tools to manage the complete Qt for MCUs application development cycle for a specific target device, see:
