Rami Potinkara, Sr. Manager in Qt R&D will talk about a cookbook and practical tools to boot devices to Qt more easily.

Yocto-based Embedded Linux stack

Yocto-project layers and recipes
Qt libraries and tooling, hardware drivers, OS etc.

Developers to developers - in the organization
Partners to customers - between organizations

Changes based on feedback from the ecosystem

What do you need to run Boot to Qt on your board?

Focused documentation for autonomy
How to change, tune and optimize Boot to Qt
How to get Qt and Qt tools to work on your board?

We'd like to enable more autonomy to our users, partners, and vendors by providing these instructions and tools for your board and extend it to a wider scope of linux-based distros. Watch and learn more!
