how to upgrade QT5.6 to 5.8 on L4.1.15_2.1.0_LINUX?

[listplot3d]

I need to use QT on imx6ul with BSP L4.1.15_2.1.0_LINUX

as qt on BSP needs GPU, to workaround GPU, this needs QTRenderer plugin to run.

as QTrenderer needs QT version >=5.8, while imx6ul BSP is compiled with QT5.6. so I need to upgrade QT5.6 to QT5.8 on BSP.

What's the procedure to do the upgrade? Thanks!

Best Regards

Hello Shawn,

The L4.1.15_2.1.0_LINUX BSP Release supports only Qt5.6 only, as you mentioned.

If you wish to use a newer version of Qt you would need to port it. There may be yocto layers with Qt 5.8 packages but the porting requires reviewing dependencies etc. You would need to consult Qt documentation regarding this.

I haven’t personally tested Qt 5.8 but an alternative would be Qt 5.8 for device creation. The official documentation does mention i.MX6 boards so perhaps it would be a good starting point.

I hope this information helps!
