Qt Quick without a GPU: i.MX6 ULL on small embedded devices
With the introduction of the Qt Quick software renderer it became possible to use Qt Quick on devices without a GPU. We investigated how viable this option is on a lower end device, particularly the NXP i.MX6 ULL. It turns out that with some (partially not yet integrated) patches developed by KDAB and The […]
Profiling QtQuick HMI Performance on Embedded Linux Demo of a QtQuick speedometer running on an i.MX6 board
QtQuick is a popular choice for creating HMIs for embedded devices. The hardware on these devices is often constrained and less performant than their desktop equivalents, this requires extra care from software developers in delivering a fluid user experience. KDAB is regularly involved in improving the performance of QtQuick HMIs on such devices for their […]
How to Profile QtQuick applications on Freescale i.MX 6 with vAnalyzer
Quick overview of profiling tools QtQuick is often used to create UIs for embedded devices. One SoC that is quite popular at the moment is the i.MX 6 board from Freescale, with its Vivante GC2000 or GC880 3D GPU. Performance on such a device matters, users expect a fluid interaction. With the QML Profiler, Qt […]
