This includes the usual suspects such as Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, QNX and some embedded Linux variants. Qt is a cross-platform frameworkthat can be used to create applications in C ++/QML that ideally run on multiple platforms based on common code. The commercial Qt license includes additional tools useful for embedded applications. Using the GPL version, you can even build applications that don’t use open source code - it is advisable to study the terms of the license agreement for Qt more closely. Qt is available under a dual-licensing model, as the source code will be open source, I did not need to decide between GPL and commercial versions of Qt. It goes without saying that it needs to be finished by… yesterday.Īt this point, I chose to implement the project using the Qt framework. It turned out that what was needed was a Linux application running on a Raspberry Pi to provide control for some FM radio hardware and also to display RDS information if it is available in the received signal. In this case, the instructions from the editorial board here at Elektor was pretty basic - "Make it so…"įair enough but before any work can begin it’s always helpful to get a basic specification of what expected from the software. In software development, the client usually supplies a specification sheet - listing what functions the software should perform in the finished product.

For any developers out there facing similar challenges, Mathias has put together a manual that shows how set up a cross-compiler environment on a PC to allow you to compile Qt applications for the Raspberry Pi from a PC - he also includes a simple demo of course. The platform-independent (GUI) framework Qt has almost become the go-to industry standard to build such interfaces, so the choice was clear. Elektor software developer and lab worker Mathias Claußen was tasked to develop a control for the FM radio on the Raspberry Pi using a touch screen.
