Qt on Linux i.MX 6
i.MX 6 is a good device. Qt runs pretty well on it. Also a plugin for hardware accelerated and zero-copy rendering seems to work pretty well. Simply building Qt for i.MX 6 makes it possible to use the Qt Multimedia plugin. This is the result (on Linux):
I also tested a provided Android port but the result was not as good.

Hi,
did someone of you knows how to cross compile Qt for the RIoTboard ??
please help.
Regards.
No problem thank you.
I'm sorry, I can't provide that information. I don't have the board anymore.
Which kernel version are you using? And what about the BSP version?
I am confused because I thought the Cortex A9 chip was the i.MX 6, but I presume that is not the case. I think I will go with the RiotBoard (riotboard.org) at £52 is a reasonable price, though sadly only single core.
Yes, i.MX 6 is a Cortex-A9. The sample was running on the dual i.MX 6 version. What is the confusion?
Hmm, confused now as the freescale website says the i.MX6 is a Cortex A9 chip… http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?code=IMX6X_SERIES&cof=0&am=0
What board have you used? The only i.MX6 boards I could find were rather expensive eval boards, I am looking for something more in the Pi/Cubieboard price range.
Not sure, this seems to be a fake. In the description I read 1.5Ghz Dual Core Cortex A9 Amlogic Neon AML8726-MX Processor. Not i.MX 6. Also that is an Android box. The one you see in the video is Linux.
Hi Luca,
What board are you using for this test? I am looking to use this https://droidbox.co.uk/droidbox-imx6.html is that essentially the same thing that you have used in terms of spec etc?
The one for i.MX 6 included in the Qt source tree.
Hi Luca,
What is this "plugin" that you speak of??
