\title Issues to be aware of when porting Qt/Embedded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Qt/Embedded is designed to be reasonably platform-independent. The
|
||
|
|
only publically available version is a Linux implementation. The
|
||
|
|
following dependencies will need to be addressed if you intend to port
|
||
|
|
to another operating system (files that you need to modify are listed
|
||
|
|
at the end of each section):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\i <b>System V IPC</b> (shared memory and semaphores) is used to share
|
||
|
|
window regions between client and server. You will need to provide
|
||
|
|
something similar unless you want a single-application setup (i.e.
|
||
|
|
running only one program, which is the server). System V semaphores
|
||
|
|
are also used for synchronising access to the framebuffer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify \c qwindowsystem_qws.cpp, \c qwsregionmanager_qws.cpp, \c
|
||
|
|
qapplication_qws.cpp, and \c qlock_qws.cpp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\i <b>Unix-domain sockets</b> are used to communicate things like
|
||
|
|
keyboard events, requests to raise windows and QCOP messages between
|
||
|
|
applications. Again, you will need to provide something similar unless
|
||
|
|
you want a single-application setup. It should be possible to
|
||
|
|
implement something like this using message queues or similar
|
||
|
|
mechanisms; with the exception of QCOP messages (which are generated
|
||
|
|
by client applications and not Qt/Embedded) individual messages should
|
||
|
|
be no more than a few bytes in length.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify \c qwssocket_qws.cpp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\i <b>The Linux framebuffer device</b> is used to map in the drawing
|
||
|
|
area. You will need to replace it (by creating a new class of QScreen)
|
||
|
|
with something else giving a byte pointer to a memory-mapped
|
||
|
|
framebuffer, plus information about width, height and bit depth (which
|
||
|
|
most likely you can simply hard-code). If your framebuffer is not
|
||
|
|
memory-mapped or is in an unsupported format or depth you will need to
|
||
|
|
modify QGfxRaster as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify \c qgfxlinuxfb_qws.cpp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\i <b>The accelerated drivers</b> currently use the Linux QScreen and use
|
||
|
|
\c /proc/bus/pci to map in PCI config space. However, these are only
|
||
|
|
example drivers; you will probably need to write your own driver in
|
||
|
|
any case, and you will need to provide your own way to map in control
|
||
|
|
registers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify \c qgfxmach64_qws.cpp, \c qgfxvoodoo_qws.cpp and \c
|
||
|
|
qgfxmatrox_qws.cpp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\i <b>Sound</b> uses a Linux \c /dev/dsp style device. If you want to use
|
||
|
|
the Qt/Embedded sound server you'll need to reimplement it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify \c qsoundqss_qws.cpp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\i <b>select()</b> is used to implement QSocketDevices and listen for
|
||
|
|
events to/from the Qt/Embedded server application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify \c qapplication_qws.cpp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\endlist
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Qt/Embedded makes use of the standard C library and some Posix functions.
|
||
|
|
Mostly the latter are concentrated in platform dependent code anyway
|
||
|
|
(e.g. mmap() to map in the Linux framebuffer).
