Hands-On Embedded Programming with Qt

Section 1: Getting Started with Embedded Qt

In this section, we will be learning how to set up an embedded development environment. In Chapter 1, Setting Up the Environment, we will go over the software setup for our host and target machines and learn what hardware you will need as we move forward. In Chapter 2, Writing Your First Qt Application, we will focus on setting up and running our first Qt application on the host system. We won't be using the target system yet, so the host system can be completed while you are waiting for the target to arrive. In Chapter 3, Running Your First Application on the Target, we will take the application we wrote in Chapter 2, Writing Your First Qt Application, and run it on the target.

The following chapters will be covered in this section:

  • Chapter 1, Setting Up the Environment
  • Chapter 2, Writing Your First Qt Application
  • Chapter 3, Running Your First Application on the Target

This is the only book you will need to get started in embedded development using C++ and Qt. The author knows how to relate to reader in a very human way using his own real world experiences. The books starts out by explaining how to set up the development environment by providing all the details on where to download the tools and how to install the required software. Once the development environment has been set up, the author explains in great detail how to use the tools by going through a simple example using the cross compilation environment and building it for an embedded target, a raspberry pi microprocessor. As part of this simple example the author goes into great detail how to the the Qt cross compiler tool kit, which includes a full embedded development walk through from how to use the QtCreator IDE to selecting the target development kit, building the application, transferring it to the target microprocessor and running it.As you the read through the chapters you feel as through the author is sitting right next to you and providing the helpful instruction to make your software development successful. The book contains many great chapters on Qt concepts such as Signals and Slots, Modern software development, how to use Qt GUI technologies, Learning QML with QT Widgets as well as Unit Testing and Mock objects.All of this is to prepare the reader to work through a complete application that can run on the Raspberry Pi microprocessor. This project is called "The Big Project", this consists of building an application that will record the temperature each day on the target microprocessor and keep history of the temperatures. The author takes a standard project management approach to building the project. The project is broken up into phases or chapters. In each phase a set of requirements must be met before moving on to the next phase. During the development of the "Big Project", the reader learns about using databases with SQL , State Machine Design using the built-in support in Qt for state machines and D-Bus support for IPC. In the final phase, the author looks forward to the new technology of IoT (Internet of Things), a technology that we are now finding in our household appliances, media devices, lighting and thermostat controls etc. Here the author extends the "Big Project" to includes a WeatherFetcher. The WeatherFetcher is a web enabled application that fetches the current weather from a website. The books ends with some advanced topics, such as using Qt thread class, best practices for software development and Debugging, logging and monitoring.Through out the book, the author reinforces the knowledge learned through end of chapter assessments. These assist with ensuring the information from previous is understood before continuing with the next chapter. In summary, I can say that I am very impressed with the depth of knowledge that the Author, John Werner has with developing embedded solutions using Qt. This book is written in an insightful way that makes it easy for the beginning reader to understand as well experienced embedded developer. I highly recommend this book if you are developing Qt applications for embedded systems.

I purchased this book with the primary goal of quickly understanding how Qt could be leveraged to develop embedded applications, and it fulfilled my needs.I should note that I skipped all the exercises/practical parts and remained hands-off so that I could finish reading the book over a weekend, so I cannot comment on those aspects which might be the most important to some readers.

I bought this book from the publisher's website (Packt) about two weeks ago, and have been working through it for several hours per day on most days. It's badly out of date, as both Qt and the Yocto build used by the author are very outdated. So it's a challenge to get things working as written in the book, and despite the author's not wanting to use Raspbian, I actually found it much easier to get going with in terms of cross-compiling Qt applications. Perhaps more concerning though is that the book, when written, doesn't appear to have had a very thorough review by a Technical Editor. I've been the Technical Editor on a leading book on the Raspberry Pi, and can say with certainty that this book really didn't much of a going-over by whoever was the TE. It's got quite a number of blatant errors in the book for instance, and in many cases the examples given are simply incorrect. I'm just over halfway through the book and have found quite a number of errors. I've searched the publisher's website for an errata section, but there is none to be found--and no visible way to report such problems.Also, the github repo for the book has code that differs significantly from the examples listed in the book. This could certainly have been updated since the writing of the book though, so that in-and-of-itself is not an indication that things went awry. But the reader should be cautioned that they will absolutely need to clone the repo and review the code as you work through the book--because otherwise many things really just don't work correctly. Also keep in mind that there are several online tutorials for building a cross-compilation toolchain for Raspbian on the RPi...but those are only similar to a point, given that the author has chosen to use Yocto for the OS on the device. However they are great references for when things don't go exactly right with the procedure listed in this book, so don't be afraid to check them out if you're having problems getting the code to build.So overall I gave the book 4-stars, but in reality it's probably a 3.5-star publication. It's somewhat sad too, because the book has tremendous potential. It simply needs a good updating and, more importantly, a VERY thorough review by a Technical Editor with an eye for detail, and the time to run each and every code example in the book.

Seems like an awesome book but I can't get the code running as it relies on a missing download from an external company. As I bought this book as a learning tool, I quickly got frustrated because of this. The rest of the content does seem good if you can get that far
