Introducing the Qt Board Verification Program
Embedded World, Nürnberg, 02 March 2010 – From today, chipset manufacturers can obtain official endorsement that their board has everything required to run Qt.
The Qt Board Verification Program endorses development platforms that are tested and proven to provide everything Qt requires to run correctly.
By providing infrastructure, metrics and a partner network, the program enables chipset manufacturers to create, document and market Qt Verified environments to device manufacturers, as well as allowing device manufacturers to easily identify the right board for their project.
The first phase of the Qt Board Verification Program focuses on industrial embedded boards that run on X11 and Embedded Linux.
Qt Global Director of Sales, Marketing and Services, Daniel Kihlberg, today provided some insight to the program.
“We are seeing increasing demand in the industrial embedded system market for better user interfaces, wired and wireless connectivity and minimized power consumption,” he said.
“Being able to create applications on Qt Verified boards will ensure developers can be more productive with regard to improving the user experience, the overall system efficiency and the installation reliability.” said Mr Kihlberg.
“The Qt Board Verification Program’s open test specification and results will help developers identify which boards are proven to be suitable for Qt-based applications and thus shorten time to market.” he concluded.
The program’s first officially Qt Verified board for the industrial embedded industry is the popular and low-cost BeagleBoard from Texas Instruments, which will be followed by the Open Frame Smart Panel "OFSP8" from Ultratronik.
The first Qt Board Verification Partner for the industrial embedded segment is basysKom from Germany, a company that has been developing embedded systems for customers with Qt for many years.
You can see the first officially Qt Verified board and many other chipset demos at Qt’s booth at Embedded World in Nuremberg. Find us in Hall 11 at stand 110. To see basysKom at Embedded World, head to Hall 11, stand 321.
