Hi all,
after QT 5 has been released, I tried to build it for QNX 6.5 SP1.
I ended with the Info, that I need the new QNX "Screen" Subsystem, used on Blackberry 10.
Well, my QSSL representation told me following:
- I have to wait for an experimental prerelease of "Screen".
- "Screen" will not be released for PPC !?!?
Can somebody coment this?
Do I only get target support for CPU's, running on Blackberry devices/emulators in the future?
Kind Regards
Michael

Something heart about support of x86 systems ?

The UI Early Access Program (UI EAP) will provide access to the experimental versions of the QNX's new composition
manager, GPU technology and WFD drivers. Access to this will be limited at first until we are ready to expand
availability to a broader target audience (hardware platforms, etc).
We have made a significant investment in graphics technology so that we can take advantage of some of the GPU
acceleration and allow seamless integrated support for multiple UI/graphics technologies (Qt, OpenGL ES, StoryBoard,
Elektrobit).
The UI EAP will available in Q1 this year (within the next 2 months).
if you need to use Qt "now" (in advance of the UI EAP technology availability), then you should use Qt 4.7x or Qt 4.8x
which is supported buy the QNX GF framework.
KDAB have been our primary partner when it comes to Qt so if you need any specific help with Qt, contact KDAB (www.kdab.
com; till@kdab.com).

I just noticed your reference to PPC in your title. If by this you mean "PowerPC", note that QNX is not investing in Qt
or any graphics support for PowerPC platforms from a roadmap perspective.

Are the x86 systems also dead ends ??

X86 support is firmly part of our roadmap and have been working on accelerated Intel GPU support ... you will this as
well in the coming months.
The bottom line is that when it comes to Qt support on a realtime OS platform, QNX is absolutely your best option. We
have a Qt4.x port, Qt5 port, QtCreator 2.6 port and continue to invest heavily in integrating and optimizing Qt
technology for QNX. The only thing we are dealing with at the moment is coordinating availability of the latest Qt
releases with the latest technology from QNX.

That means QSS is going to support, offering and selling Qt xx for x86
systems ?

Are there any roadmaps for polishing up the "latest technology" for the
support of PCIe, APIC and MSI for x86 systems??

Commercial licensing for Qt is owned exclusively by Digia.
You can also obtain Qt under the LGPL license.
QNX has been working closely with KDAB and Digia and others to ensure that Qt for QNX is ported and available for our
customer base.
In terms of "selling" Qt, if you want to purchase Qt commercial licenses, you need to contact Digia.
technical support for Qt is provided by KDAB, Digia (for commercial licensees) and of course teh Qt community at large.
At this time, we (QNX Software Systems) do not offer direct fee-based support for Qt as we have deemed it better for
this to come from expert Qt companies such as KDAB, Digia and others.

Yes. We are working on locking down the feature set for our next major OS release and will communicate this once we have
gone through proper due diligence and processes.
Hope this helps.
