<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">- Add a “rtems-arm-4.12-gcc” platform to QT. This allows you to configure QT with RTEMS compilers and libraries.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The QT LinuxFB plugin supports the following input systems: libinput, tslib, and EVDEV. I choose EVDEV because it is supported by LIBBSD.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As a quick indication of footprint, the EVDEV test in the RTEMS LIBBSD test suite is ~4 times the size of the hello world test. I compiled against the xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu
BSP but the results were similar to my custom LPC3250 BSP. The hello world test is ~4MB. The EVDEV test is ~15MB. The EVDEV test pulls in the USB keyboard and mouse drivers. This is where most of the footprint increase comes from. The EVDEV code itself
is pretty small. The frame buffer and touch drivers are also small.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The frame buffer device in RTEMS is not compatible with QT but it is not far off. QT expects the following Linux headers: “linux/fb.h”, “linux/kd.h”, and “sys/kd.h”. I had
ported the Linux headers and placed them under the “dev/include/linux” and “dev/include/linux/sys” directories in the RTEMS source tree (not currently in the tree because the patches were rejected). QT also expects the frame buffer device to support the MMAP
device handler. This was added to Gedare’s MMAP work but as Sebastian pointed out it does not follow the design module. This probably needs to be dealt with at some point.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

Do you have an example standard API what would be suitable?<br>
