Introduction Deploying Qt applications in embedded Linux systems is a common requirement in scenarios such as industrial control, smart terminals, and in-vehicle systems. However, unlike desktop environments, embedded devices often lack a complete graphics stack (such as X11 or Wayland) and may not even have a window manager. Therefore, Qt provides various platform plugins to … Read more
Have you ever wondered how smart light bulbs in your home receive on/off commands from your phone? How do hundreds of sensors in a factory report data in real-time? Behind all this, there is a protocol called MQTT that works silently. It acts like a ‘WeChat group’ for IoT devices, making communication between machines easy … Read more
