Use the Power of Qt to Speed up Development - Video

When developing for Embedded Devices, turn-around times are often long and slow down the development experience. In this first video, Christoph Sterz shows how the Cross-Platform-Aspect of Qt allows developers to save time by developing on their desktop machines.

For the demo, one needs to forward a serial port to another PC, here is how to do that:
1. On the embedded board forward a USBSerial to a TCP-Port: sudo socat -v /dev/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0 tcp-listen:8888,reuseaddr
2. On my Desktop receive that and re-inject it in to a virtual USBSerial: sudo socat -v PTY,raw,echo=0,link=/dev/ttyVUSB0 tcp:<IP_OF_EMBEDDED_BOARD>:8888
3. Just regularly use the Desktop to connect: sudo screen /dev/ttyVUSB0 115200 - I now have a "remote" serialport in my /dev/
