I started writing a QT gui so that I could build a display for a 400x240 LCD. The display is defined by using an XML configuration file loosely based on the available QT widgets, so I have a few different display layouts. It's not much more than a proof of concept at the moment, with only some of the functionality implemented. It is designed to be run side-by-side with axis, or on its own.
I don't know how much work it will be to make it work without X11. I've had a quick look at QT embedded before, but my understanding was you needed to code for it specifically. I can share it if you are interested. > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles Steinkuehler [mailto:char...@steinkuehler.net] > Sent: Monday, 6 January 2014 8:36 AM > To: EMC developers > Subject: [Emc-developers] Non-X GUI Options > > Are there any options for a GUI interface for LinuxCNC that don't rely on X > windows? > > It looks like the GPU drivers for the BeagleBone are beginning to work with > the 3.12 kernel, but so far only for the raw frame buffer and OpenGL, not for > X windows. > > Is there anything that talks directly to the kernel drivers, or maybe uses > something like QT? > > I'm not figuring there's anything already, but I figured I'd ask.
