How to create a user friendly GUI on the i.MX 8M Plus EVK Board running a Linux OS

[eslam]

Hi, 

i am using i.MX 8M Plus EVK Board and running on it Linux OS LF_v6.12.34-2.1.0_images_IMX8MPEVK.zip. 

i am trying to create a user friendly GUI to display some data. i have flashed the imx-image-full (all imx-image-full-imx8mpevk.wic). 

and in the i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide [UG10164].pdf document it is mentioning  that the fulll image support QT6 but i check the path 

" /usr/share/qt6/examples/webenginewidgets/StyleSheetbrowser" for example but it is not found.

so please i need to know is it possible to create a GUI using python or QT or something like this? if yes please how to do that?

please suggest.

thanks.

Hi @eslam!

Thank you for reaching out to NXP Support!

Unfortunately, our BSP does not include QT examples by default.

To enable QT WebEngine examples, you’ll need to build the full image manually. Please note that QT WebEngine is not compatible with the Chromium layer, so you’ll need to comment out the Chromium layer in your build configuration. Additionally, add the following line to your local.conf file:

PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qtwebengine = " examples"

For GUI development, you can consider using QT, LVGL, or Crank AMETEK.

Here’s an example of LVGL running on an i.MX8MP-EVK board:
