| - | <hr>
| + | |
| - | <strong> How to SSH into QEMU Image </strong><br>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Anytime MeeGo is running in QEMU, you can use SSH to connect to the image from another terminal on the host system.
| + | |
| - | <ol><li>Launch QEMU with MeeGo image </li>
| + | |
| - | <li>From a terminal on the host, connect to the running image</li>
| + | |
| - | $ ssh meego@127.0.0.1 -p 6666
| + | |
| - | </ol>
| + | |
| - | Two user accounts are available in the MeeGo images:<br>
| + | |
| - | User: meego Password: meego<br>
| + | |
| - | User: root Password: meego<br><br>
| + | |
| - | If user failed to connect to MeeGo image through ssh, please refer to item 9 of [http://wiki.meego.com/SDK/Docs/1.1/Troubleshooting#QEMU_SDK_Errors trouble shooting] to check the sshd daemon in client.
| + | |
| - | <hr>
| + | |
| - | <strong> The performance of QEMU emulator </strong><br><br>
| + | |
| - | Two factors impacts the emulator's performance most:
| + | |
| - | <ol>
| + | |
| - | <li> CPU virtualization. kvm is utilized on Linux whereas kqemu is utilized on Windows </li>
| + | |
| - | <li> Graphic acceleration. </li>
| + | |
| - | </ol>
| + | |
| - | The kqemu module requires the host windows system to be 32-bit; the graphic acceleration requires the host to have powerful hardware graphic acceleration. The best performance could be achieved if both factors run well. If neither of above is available, the emulator will be extremely slow. <br>
| + | |
| - | Suppose that the graphic card on host is not tha powerful, one way to improve UI performance is to alter the UI program not to use opengl. Below are the steps:
| + | |
| - | $ ssh meego@127.0.0.1 -p 6666
| + | |
| - | $ su
| + | |
| - | $ vi /etc/xdg/autostart/meego-ux-daemon.desktop #remove the "--opengl" option
| + | |
| - | $ exit
| + | |
| - | <hr>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === Run an app within a real device ===
| + | |
| - | <ol>
| + | |
| - | <li> Go to Tools > Options > Projects > MeeGo Device Configurations and click "Add" button. Select "Remote Device" for "Device type", input other information and give a name for this configuration</li>
| + | |
| - | [[File:Real-device.png|800px]]
| + | |
| - | <li> Open your project and in the "Projects" mode, click "Run" in the little MeeGo target window, and select the configuration you just created in "Device Configuration"</li>
| + | |
| - | [[File:Meego-sdk-run-settings-real-device.png|800px]]
| + | |
| - | <li> Launch terminal inside the device, and run command "xhost +" in it. </li>
| + | |
| - | <li> Click "Run" or "Debug" on the lower left corner of Qt Creator to run or debug your application on the configured Device.</li>
| + | |
| - | </ol>
| + | |
| - | * '''Note: If the image of an earlier version prior to 1.2 is used, the mad-developer should be installed on device manually before the application is deployed. The following two approaches are alternatives.''' | + | |
| - | <ul>
| + | |
| - | <li> Download the repo file from http://download.meego.com/live/Trunk/standard/Trunk.repo to /etc/zypp/repos.d. Then install mad-developer</li>
| + | |
| - | sudo zypper ref
| + | |
| - | sudo zypper install utfs-client
| + | |
| - | sudo zypper install mad-developer
| + | |
| - | <li> Download the rpm package from http://download.meego.com/live/Trunk/standard/i586/mad-developer-2.0-2.1.i586.rpm (OR http://download.meego.com/live/Trunk/standard/armv7l/mad-developer-2.0-2.7.armv7l.rpm for arm.). Then install rpm package.</li>

| - | rpm -i mad-developer-2.0-2.1.i586.rpm

| - | === Build an app for Qt Simulator, and run it with Qt Simulator===
| + | |
| - | * '''Note: MTF apps cannot be built with simulator currently, while Qt apps can be built.'''
| + | |
| - | * Microsoft C++ Compiler is required to build apps for Qt Simulator. To meet this requirement, you can install one of the following software:
| + | |
| - | ** Microsoft Visio C++ 2008 Express Edition (http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2008-Visual-CPP).
| + | |
| - | ** Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e-1fd44e0e2505&displaylang=en). This is for Windows 7 only.
| + | |

| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Add Qt Simulator target ====
| + | |
| - | * Launch Qt Creator | + | |
| - | * Go to Tools > Options > Qt4 > Qt Versions
| + | |
| - | * Click the "+" to add a new "Qt Version"
| + | |
| - | * In "Version name", provide a name.
| + | |
| - | * In "qmake locations:", browse and select qmake location: ''<MEEGO_SDK>\Simulator\Qt\bin\qmake.exe''. Replace <MEEGO_SDK> with the directory where you installed MeeGo SDK; the default is C:\MeeGoSDK_1.2.
| + | |
| - | * In "Toolchain:", browse and select "Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 9.0 (x86)" if you installed "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1", or select "Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 8.0 (x86)" if you installed "Microsoft Visio C++ 2008 Express Edition".
| + | |
| - | * Build
| + | |
| - | * To use the simulator, please refer to http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtsimulator-1.1/simulator-starting.html for more information. If the simulator cannot be load automatically from Qt Creator, you can launch it once manually by double clicking the icon of "<MEEGO_SDK>\Simulator\Application\simulator.exe" in Explorer.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Install Debugging Tools for Windows====
| + | |
| - | You need to install Debugging Tools for Windows for debugging apps with simulator.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * Launch Qt Creator
| + | |
| - | * Select Tools > Option > Debugger > Cdb, check 'CDB'
| + | |
| - | *Click the hyperlink of "Debugging Tools for Windows"
| + | |
| - | [[File:Qt-creator-option-debugger-cdb.png|600px]]
| + | |
| - | *Download the previous versions of debugging tools for Windows (http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_x86_6.11.1.404.msi)
| + | |
| - | [[File:Web-page-download-debugging-tools.png|600px]]
| + | |
| - | * If the CDB path had not been configured preperly, click 'Auto Detect' button to set it manually.
