[Automotive] [agl-discussions] Introduce Qt IVI layer (meta-qt5-ivi)

[Streif, Rudolf]

http://www.qt.io/qt-for-device-creation/)? At least the README mentions it.
A while ago I wanted to give Qt for Device Creation a try for a hobby
project but it seems to be commercially licensed only and there was only a
30 day free trial available. That still seems to be the case according to
the website. Could you please clarify the licensing? It looks as if the
layer itself is GPLv3-licensed. What about the boot2qt components?



> meta-boot2qt builds on meta-qt5 to provide amongst other things more up to

> meta-boot2qt also provides support for a lot of devices. Currently this
> includes the i.MX6, i.MX7, Rcar Gen 2, Raspberry Pi 1/2/3, Jetson
> Pro/Tegra, VirtualBox, Intel. The full list can be seen in our layer init
> script [3].
>
> The layer is developed in the open through Qt Code Review (i.e. gerrit)
> [4]. I am very happy to see the wide-spread interest in these components.
> We welcome people to work with us to establish one high-quality, canonical
> upstream for the recipes.
>
> Looks like it is a fully distro layer. I will give it a shot.

Cheers,
Rudi
