Sounds good. Today I wrote Robert's Debian 7.3 image to an SD card and successfully booted the BBB. Then I installed Debian's qt-sdk (which is Qt 4.8.2). Qt complained that it cannot find an X Server, so I first tried to install xserver-xfbdev (which is advertised as very lightweight) but this did not work for some reason. Then I installed LXDE and that worked out fine. Haven't tested thoroughly but I suspect that the 3.8.13 kernel in the Debian 7.3 image does not have 3D accelleration. Of course the native compilation, even at application level, takes a long time on the BBB. And I am still not sure which is the recommended way to cross-compile Qt apps on the BBB. If I have some time I will also have a look at Qt 5 with TI's Graphics SDK. I think Qt is very important for the BBB and is required by many people. For non-GUI tasks where fast response times are needed I still prefer a Cortex M3 or M4 at bare-metal level :) Anguel -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
