How can I upgrade QT version from 5.4 to 5.8?

[wangtsungli]

Hi Community,

Presently, I'm using Yocto project imx-4.1.15-1.0.0_ga and I use i.MX6 sabre-SD Quad as my platform.

For this Yocto version, it includes QT 5.4.

Now I'm trying to upgrade QT version to 5.8.

What should I do?

Do I need to use Yocto project 2.4?

Or Is there any other way to do it?

Thanks in Advanced!

Hi tsung

one can migrate to Linux 4.9.11, it uses Qt5.8 as described in

sect.2.1 New features attached Release Notes.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm wondering what is the difference between fsl-image-qt5 and fsl-image-validation-qt5-imx?

As the i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide document showed, I should l build fsl-image-validation-qt5-imx to have my QT5 image and using hardware graphics.

But in fsl-yocto_L4.9.11_1.0.0 folder there is a README file, it said you could build image with fsl-image-gui or fsl-image-qt5 to have fsl-image-gui with QT 5.8.

I can tell the difference between fsl-image-qt5 and fsl-image-validation-qt5-imx.

Which is more proper in my condition?
