\title Connecting Generic Linux Devices
You can connect generic Linux devices to the development PC to build, run,
debug, and analyze applications on them from Qt Creator.
If you have the tool chain for building applications for generic Linux
devices (with no MADDE support) installed on the development PC, you can add
it to Qt Creator.
To be able to run and debug applications on generic Linux devices, you must
create device configurations and select them in the Qt Creator run
settings.
You use a wizard to create the connections. You can edit the settings later
in \gui {Tools > Options... > Linux Devices > Device Configurations}.
\image qtcreator-linux-device-configurations.png "Device Configurations dialog"
You can protect the connections between Qt Creator and a device by using
either a password or an SSH key. If you do not have an SSH key, you can
create it in Qt Creator. For more information, see \l {Generating SSH Keys}.
To configure connections between Qt Creator and generic Linux devices:
\list 1
\o Make sure that your device can be reached via an IP address.
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options... > Qt4 > Add} to add the Qt version
for the generic Linux.
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options... > Tool Chains > Add} to add the tool
chain for building the applications.
\o To deploy applications and run them remotely on devices, specify
parameters for accessing the devices:
\list 1
\o Select \gui {Tools > Options... > Linux Devices > Device
Configurations > Add > Generic Linux Device}.
\image qtcreator-screenshot-devconf-linux.png "Connection Data wizard"
\o In the \gui {The name to identify this configuration} field,
enter a name for the connection.
\o In the \gui {The device's host name or IP address} field,
enter the host name or IP address of the device.
\o In the \gui {The user name to log into the device} field,
enter the user name to log into the device and run the
application as.
\o In the \gui {The authentication type} field, select whether
to use \gui Password or \gui Key authentication, and enter
the user's password or the file that contains the user's
private key.
\o Click \gui {Next} to create the connection.
\endlist
\o To specify build settings:
\list 1
\o Open a project for an application you want to develop for the
device.
\o Select \gui {Projects > Desktop > Build}.
\o Select the Qt version and tool chain for the generic Linux
device.
\endlist
\o To specify run settings:
\list 1
\o Select \gui {Run > Add > Build Tarball and Deploy to Linux Host}
to add a new deploy configuration.
\image qtcreator-run-settings-linux-devices.png "Run settings for generic Linux devices"
\o In the \gui {Device configuration} field, select the device
connection.
\endlist
When you run the project, Qt Creator creates an installation package in
the build directory. The name of the directory is displayed in the
\gui {Create tarball} step.
The \gui {Deploy tarball via SFTP upload using device} step specifies
that Qt Creator uploads the tarball to the device and extracts it.
You can add custom deploy steps and remove the default step if
it is incompatible with your steps.
To only create a tarball and not copy the files to the device,
remove all deploy steps.

Qt Creator uses the compiler specified in the project build settings

Qt Creator generates an installation package, installs it on the
device, and executes the selected application. The application views are
displayed on the device. Command-line output is visible in the Qt
Creator \gui {Application Output} view.
Choose \gui {Projects > Desktop > Run} to view the settings for deploying
the application on the connected device and creating the installation
package. For more information, see

\section2 Specifying Run Settings for Generic Linux Devices
To run an application on a generic Linux device (without MADDE support),
create and select a device configuration in the Desktop run settings for
your project. You can also pass command line arguments to your application.

In addition, you must create a connection from the development PC to the
device. Click \gui {Manage device configurations} to create connections.
For more information, see \l {Connecting Generic Linux Devices}.
When you run the application on the \gui Desktop target, Qt Creator
generates an installation package in the build directory. The name of the
directory is displayed in the \gui {Create tarball} step. Qt Creator copies
the tarball to devices by using the SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP) and
extracts it.
