Qt Base Module

The Qt Base module offers classes for embedded Linux devices.

The Base module is based on Qt and builds the foundation for all other modules of Qt Extended. This means that all other modules rely on this module. The smallest Qt Extended build only contains this module (and of course Qt) and is accessable via the following configure line:

    ./configure -device xyz

The Base module is always enabled when building Qt Extended. It doesn't have to be enabled via the -modules switch. Note that not specifying a device profile would result in the reference device being build.

Feature description

This module provides the essential support for embedded and multi-process Linux environments. Therefore its main focus is to facilitate IPC communication, process and document management. In addition it sets up the basic elements for arbitrary UI development (e.g. graphical effects/styles, Internationalization and image/resource support).

FeatureDetails
Document controlQt Extended document management provides the following features:
Hardware AbstractionThe hardware abstraction system provides a set of classes which allow the control of devices across process boundaries and can be easily extended to cater for new device types.
IPC communicationThe following IPC features are provided
Internationalization & LocalizationQt Extended utilizes Qt's i18n & l10n support. In addition Qt Extended adds support for the following features:
Process ManagementThe component is responsible for process management such as the starting/stopping of processes and life cycle management:
ThemingUser interface components can be defined in XML. For more details see Theming documentation.
Other featuresThe following minor features are included in this module:

Software components

The Base module includes the following software components:

The exact list of components included in this module can be found in $QPEDIR/src/module_base.pri.
