Qt for MCUs offers all the necessary tools to design, develop, build, and deploy your application onto the target.

Requirements

The instructions in this guide are relevant for the Renesas RH850-D1M1A reference platform. Before you begin, install the prerequisites on your Windows host. You can install most of the prerequisites using Qt Online Installer, which is available for download from your Qt account.

The guide needs the following common prerequisites on your development host:

• Qt for MCUs SDK v2.4 or newer
• Qt Design Studio v3.9.0 or newer
• CMake 3.21.1 or newer
• Ninja 1.10.0 or newer

In addition, it requires the following tools as they are not offered by Qt Online Installer:

• Renesas Graphics Library (RGL) v2.1.0a
• Green Hills Software MULTI IDE v7.1.6
• Green Hills Software compiler version 2018.1.5

To use a different Green Hills Software compiler version you will first have to rebuild the Qt Quick Ultralite core libraries, see Building Qt Quick Ultralite from sources for more information.

Tasks

The guide includes several topics, describing the process with step-by-step instructions for the following tasks:

• Design a simple UI using Qt Design Studio
• Develop the application backend in GHS MULTI IDE
  • Develop the C++ backend
  • Integrate UI and backend in Design Studio
  • Export application and platform sources
  • Build application in GHS MULTI IDE
