Notice: This is an example and should not be used in production.
Qt application libraries compiled with support for the eglfs backend on i.MX 6 & 8 SoCs for use on Ubuntu Core 20.
Users can either use this snap in stage-snaps to utilise the prebuilt libraries for their application, or extend this snap by adding the appropriate build steps.
The Qt libraries are installed to the ${SNAP}/usr/ prefix.
As part of the build process, the GPU library binaries for the SoCs are downloaded, extracted, and added to the snap. It's assumed you know what you're doing, license-wise, if you're using and/or distributing this snap.
This snap can be built on an amd64-based PC with the following command:
# for i.MX 6
snapcraft --destructive-mode --enable-experimental-target-arch --target-arch=armhf
# for i.MX 8
snapcraft --destructive-mode --enable-experimental-target-arch --target-arch=arm64
This snap can also be built natively on the target devices using the typical snapcraft build process. Please note that this will take quite a bit of time, as the Qt libraries are rather large.
