beaglebone black - QNX QT

           
                  Unlike Raspberry ,beaglebone (AM335X) has a very good documentation , also it has got a very good SDK support which makes porting to any OS is like a cake walk. 
QNX support is already there for this board. only problem is display wont work . It has got some hdmi code , probably thats for some old beaglebone version.  

If you use LCD Cape , please use the original code from QNX site . My focus is only on HDMI & QT .I dont have LCD Cape.

If you want to learn QNX  / If you want work on QNX for the first time, buy this board & use this  BSP ,it has got all the drivers plus graphics /QT support. beaglebone board price is 55$ something last time when I checked. I hate buying bsp from third party vendors, we are paying for QNX , so bsp should be  free , or use the board/processor which has the free bsp support.

(login required) 

Source Code 
                 
         Source code is maintained here 

            https://github.com/varghes/BeagleboneBlack-QNX-QT

Setup :

Test the board and SD Card First:
        Write any working Linux image to the sd card &  hold the boot button(boot from SD card) , power on , make sure you can see the serial debug messages . 

QT Installation :

              Installation files are here . 

               https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B02sL8YIqsjCNS1ZWFNkQzRRY0E

this was there in the QNX site.. but now the link is removed  (qt_qnx_2011-02-24b.zip) , they might have thought QT support is beyond their scope. So I have uploaded here in my google drive.  qt got lgpl license. which is fine for distribution.

1. unzip it ... Installation folder contains files for different OS , mine is windows. If you are using linux /other OS use the correct folder.

2. qt_qnx_host_win32_x86 goes to  C:\QNX650\host (mine installed here) , just copy the files only 
    dont copy the  folder /replace the folder 

 qt_qnx_targets\target\qnx6\armle-v7  (both bin & lib also copy the qt4/pkgconfig folder )goes to  
C:\QNX650\target\qnx6\armle-v7

qt_qnx_targets\target\qnx6\usr goes to C:\QNX650\target\qnx6\usr


 Build QT Project :

1.Open The QNX IDE -> File ->New -> QNX C++ Project -> 
     build variants -> armV7 

2.Test application code 

#include <qt4/QtGui/QApplication>
#include <qt4/QtGui/QPushButton>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
printf("Application Running... ");
QApplication app(argc,argv);
QPushButton Button1("Hello World");
Button1.resize(180,90);
Button1.show();
return app.exec();

}

3. Right click on the project -> properties  , check build variants

4. Select Compiler Tab ->  Extra Include path 

Add from -> "Disk"  -  then "apply "

[QNX Directory ] /target/qnx6/armle-v7/usr/lib/qt4/imports
[QNX Directory ]/target/qnx6/armle-v7/usr/lib/qt4/plugins
[QNX Directory ]/target/qnx6/usr/include/qt4

5. Linker Tab 
category  "Extra library  "  click "Add"     and type
            QtGui
            QtCore
click "apply "  , click "ok"   , Now "build project" can compile the QT source code.

qnx executable image can be found here  , in the project folder . arm\o-le-v7

.build scripts changes 

 BSP files are here  ... as usual 
a. unzip it  b.create an empty project c. File -> import ->General ->Existing Projects in to Workspace -> File system (select the unzipped folder ) -> build

libQtGui.so.4 , libQtCore.so.4 both are the main libraries  , I have included other libraries to test the qtdemo ,designer , browser  applications
Script changes, Project settings are already done in the BSP  & Example QT project  , So you dont have to make any changes.

if build is successful , you should be able to see the final image 

First QT application should be followed with the command "-qws"
example 
qt_v7_demo -qws &

This window will become desktop window .


Flashing SD Card 

"ifs-ti-beaglebone.bin  " before adding the QT files the the image size was around 15 MB only ..
After QT library additions it becomes 75MB .. if you use the 2 core QT Libraries , you can reduce the image size.

boot files are here 

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B02sL8YIqsjCWlpRWVVTVWpkZ00

TI_SDCard_boot_utility_v1_0.exe   you can use this tool to copy MLO file  .. under windows 10 ,"run as administrator" mode  .. if you have any issues, use Windows XP ,VMware virtual machine .

If it works , you should be able to see the serial debug message . uEnv.txt usually  directs the control to SD Card automatically .  if doesn't work , while powering ON , hold the boot button( next to usb B connector )

Beaglebone Black -QNX -QT Support

I spent several weeks to workaround beagle bone black graphics (HDMI) QNX support & made some demo programs to run on that ..

It supports USB mouse /keypad /pendrive / HDMI Display/Network /EMMC/UART/SPI/CAN ..

This would be the low cost board 100% supported by QNX ..

It still needs some cleanups , I haven't decided whether I should opensource it /Sell it /ask for some donation.

QT  is much better than Photon windows manager . With QT  ,A whole range of programs Linux programs can be ported to QNX ..

Few clicks ..

{other project "Raspberry QNX" open source project is steadily moving , eMMC Support testing is in progress . soon it will be pushed in to github. next step would be USB..}

3 Applications are running , 1. QTDemo 2.QT browser 3. QT GUI Designer (screen resolution yet to be fixed)

Planning to make/port  a QT based CAN Analyser , which would work on Windows /Linux /QNX.

Testing Video

update : I am making it open source ... will be uploaded soon in my github ... Enjoy ..

Raspberry BCM2835 - uC/OS uC/GUI

Note : This software is given here purely for academic purpose , So Kindly contact sales@micrium.com   , If you decided to use uC/OS or uC/GUI in your product, refer their license terms ..   The work I have done (Raspberry Porting ) is distributed under MIT license ..  This software is given here with the intention that it can useful to learn both these products.  

What is working 

1. Kernel 

2.GUI  

3.You can access  peripherals(I2C/SPI/GPIO ) using Baremetal code

4. SPI-Touch  - planned , but not implemented 

5. USB -Mouse ( included csud driver - not working fully)

6. Repaint of screen requires some fix

Compiling it on Windows 

1.download  gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32.exe  ( I am using this version)

while installing uncheck environment variable option . 

2.  Go to  C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\4.7 2013q3\bin     " gccvar.bat"  run this file .

3. cd "project directory"   then "make " 

4.image size defined here is  uCGUI\Config\LCDConf.h   800x480 , change is according to your screen

Running 

Copy the kernel.img to SD code & replace the existing one .

Code is here

stm32f103c8t6 Serial /SWD programming issue

I  had two peculiar programming issues 

1. Serial programming works (Demonstrator GUI ) sometimes  connects , some times it wont . I found a pattern

    a. Set Boot0 jumber to 3.3V
    b. First connect the USB-UART to PC 
    c. Then power ON STM32 device   
      this times it works ...   the other way that is connecting STM32 First & USB-UART Second is not        working 

2.SWD is not connecting  ... (ST Link Utility )

you might have accidentally not selected  Serial Wire Debug option under STM32Cubemx. 
That will disable further debugging  , only option to recover is 

Set Boot0 jumber 3.3V  & program the software that enabled serial Wire debug option.

Fx2lp - CY7C68013A development board

I am a big fan of USB... I have personally worked on many USB related projects

This was lying on my table for years I did n't know what to do with this board ..
I didn't have the schematic too

Actually this schematics covers all , except those 2 LEDS , They are connected to PA0, PA1 pins 

1. Install CY3684 EZ-USB FX2LP DVK Setup software
2. Install GPIF Designer software
3. Install SuiteUSB software

Here is my Project files , Unzip it 

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B02sL8YIqsjCOEhLdVhsTXdxUWs

3  things 

1. Bulkloop Application 

     This is to send data to the device (testing )  .. You can modify this for your final USB PC application development

2. CYControl ( Detect Development Board & Download Firmware in to the device )

      You can use this to download hex file to the device 

3.Keil ( Remember this is size limited version )  ... So people sometimes chose sdcc compiler.( That works better on linux)

Double click & open it ..

Build it .. 

once build is done , use the "cycontrol" tool to download the hex file to the device .. 

I put a small code to blink the led when you send 01 ..(use bulk loop pc application)

For cypress ,no code explanation required :)
