    ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.14 up 

3. Configure the device access in Qt Creator.

To use WLAN connection:

1. Connect the device to your computer with the USB cable.
2. To log into the device, use the following command:

    ssh root@192.168.2.15 

   (password: meego)

3. To view the WLAN IP address of the device, use the following command:

   ifconfig

4. Unplug the USB cable.
5. Configure the device access in Qt Creator.

Configuring device access in Qt Creator
