The Qt framework is best known by most developers as a graphical toolkit library, which allows to build graphical interfaces with windows, buttons, checkboxes and drop-down lists. However, Qt is not limited to graphical application development and through this talk, we would like to highlight the multiple features that Qt offers to embedded Linux developers developping non-graphical applications. Based on the experience of a real non-graphical application developped for a customer, we will detail how Qt has helped integrating features such as communication with multiple devices over serial ports, communication with a GSM modem, XML parsing, HTTP requests, communication with Linux input devices, and more.
