Qt Embedded & ipaq testing
Message 1 in thread
We want to write applications on top of Qt Embedded and we are trying to get
our development environment set up. We are gearing our embedded initially to
the Compaq Ipaq and we've read the www.handhelds.org site thoroughly.
We are wondering if anyone has had experience with compiling and testing
applications that will be loaded onto an embedded device. Specifically, we
are concerned with issues such as floating point (or the lack their of for
the StrongARM processor) and general testing issues for the StrongARM
processor.
Is anyone compiling for the StrongARM processor and then emulating the
StrongARM processor on your desktop Linux machine? Basically, we would like
to use Qt Embedded to run our applications in an simulated environment rather
than loading it on to the ipaq to test.

Hi Greg,
I am doing development for Compaq's Ipaq with QTE. My solution to
not-flashing-after-compilation is to use NFS and mount the respective
directory and test my programms. This works quite well, the speed is
nice. The interaction with the Ipaq to be done for this and starting the
to test application as well is done via serial connection.
Yes, the StrongARM has no FPU, but the emulation may be ok, but not too
fast, so for "number crunching" it may be inadequate.
I am not aware of any Emulator for the StrongARM. To test your
applications on a desktop You can try using the virtual frame buffer qvfb.
BTW: For a compact and handy Linux distribution for the Ipaq You want to
have a look at my company's site (sorry for this commercial :-) URL below.

Hello, all,
I have a question about GSM module for iPAQ running with QTE :
Is the iPAQ embedded Linux(LISA systems or others) have any drivers could
access the GSM module that could supply wireless data services (USSD,SMS ...
etc.) ?
Are there any people have using these facility before ? any suggestion will
be grateful.
