project, <strong>an</strong>d attendees will learn <strong>how</strong> <strong>to</strong> quickly create a BusyBox-<strong>based</strong>, small footprint, cus<strong>to</strong>m<br />
<strong>Linux</strong> platform. This module concludes with <strong>an</strong> overview of <strong>how</strong> <strong>to</strong> jumpstart <strong>application</strong> development<br />
<strong>an</strong>d system cus<strong>to</strong>mization with GCC, glibc, libraries <strong>an</strong>d utilities such as GDB.<br />

Module 2: Setting up your <strong>build</strong> environment <strong>an</strong>d learning <strong>how</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>build</strong><br />
MQX <strong>an</strong>d <strong>Linux</strong> OSs on your development host. How <strong>to</strong> <strong>build</strong> a state-ofthe-art<br />
UI for on-screen controls using <strong>Qt</strong> Embedded for <strong>Linux</strong>.<br />
In this session, attendees will set up their host development environment with desk<strong>to</strong>p <strong>to</strong>ols<br />
including Fac<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>an</strong>d ARM DS-5 that enable developers <strong>to</strong> <strong>build</strong> MQX <strong>an</strong>d <strong>Linux</strong> OSs <strong>an</strong>d assist in<br />
the development of value-add software.<br />
Using <strong>Qt</strong> WYSIWYG features, attendees will design a UI for a security surveill<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>application</strong> that<br />
provides end users with information on capture <strong>an</strong>d displayed feed along with various controls <strong>to</strong><br />
m<strong>an</strong>ipulate the device’s behavior. The <strong>application</strong> will leverage hardware accelerated features of<br />
the Vybrid SOC.<br />
What you will learn:<br />
• How <strong>to</strong> setup your host environment <strong>to</strong> cross compile MQX <strong>an</strong>d <strong>Linux</strong><br />
