The README outlines the steps required to build QTAC using command line interface. To understand and modify the Qt UI components, you will need to get Qt Creator. If you've already installed Qt, you may execute the Qt Maintainence Tool to download the additional software Qt Creator. If you're performing a fresh install, use the Qt Online Installer.
QTAC requires Qt6 and MSVC2022 64-bit. Please review below custom install configuration in Qt to optimize download time.
Required additional libraries:
- Qt Multimedia
- Qt Serial Port
QTAC requires CMake for building from source. You can either install CMake separately or use the Qt installer to setup CMake. Review the following screenshot to setup CMake on your system.
Use the below command to clone the project source:
git clone https://github.com/qualcomm/qcom-test-automation-controller.gitOpen the session. The Project tab on the left pane will be inactive. Create a Sample Qt project to see if Qt is set up properly.
The Project tab now becomes active. Review the Qt kit configuration. Make sure no stray paths or kits are present as they can lead to erroneous libraries and applications.
The numbers on the image refers to some of the areas you need to review before building the project.
QTAC uses FTDI libraries to control FT4232H chip on the debug board. You can find out more about the FTDI D2XX libraries here. The CMake scripts take care of setting up the libraries and no manual step is required.
Now you're set to build the project using Qt Creator.
Open the CMakeLists.txt inside Qt Creator. This sets up the project structure for you in the editor. You do not need to manually configure Qt dependencies or open sub-projects.
Right-click on the project you wish to build, debug, run to compile, debug and execute respectively.
