This chapter assumes that you have a working Qt system on a Host computer. While the Target is not specifically used, as with most Qt programs, you should be able to build and run the examples on the target. (That's the power of Qt!)
As in previous chapters, I assume you have been working and following along with the material in the book and are familiar with C++11 and basic Linux commands.
Source code for this chapter can be found in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Embedded-Programming-with-Qt/tree/master/Chapter12. In it you will find several small projects to help you explore threading with Qt.
