Run on remote Linux devices
To build an application and run it on a Linux-based device:
- Specify a connection to the device.
- Select
(Run).
Qt Creator uses the compiler from the kit (toolchain) to build the application.
Qt Creator copies the application files to the connected device and runs the application. The application views are displayed on the device. Command-line output is visible in the Qt Creator Application Output view.
Go to Projects > Run Settings to specify settings for running the application.
Go to Projects > Deploy Settings to view the settings for deploying the application to the connected device.
Debugging works transparently if GDB server is installed on the device and it is compatible with the GDB on the host.
