    \title Connecting Maemo and MeeGo Harmattan Devices

    Maemo 5 (Fremantle) and MeeGo Harmattan are Linux-based software platforms
    developed by Nokia for mobile devices. They allow developers to create
    applications using the Qt framework.
    The whole tool chain that you need to create, build, debug, run, and deploy
    Maemo 5 and Harmattan applications is installed and configured when you
    install the
    \QSDK.

    \if defined(qcmanual)
    For more
    information about the Maemo 5 platform, see
    \l{http://maemo.org/intro/platform/}{Software Platform} on the Maemo web site.

    For more information about the Harmattan platform, see
    \l{http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/}{Harmattan Platform SDK}.

    \endif

    For more information about developing applications for the Maemo 5
    platform, select \gui {Help > Index} and look for \gui {Platform Notes},
    or see
    \l{http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo/platform-notes-maemo5.html}{Platform Notes - Maemo 5}.

    For more information about developing applications for the Harmattan
    platform, select \gui {Help > Index} and look for \gui {Platform Notes}.

    \note \QSDK does not contain the tool chains for building applications for
    other MeeGo devices than MeeGo Harmattan. You can try to run applications
    from Qt Creator on other MeeGo devices, but it has not been extensively
    tested, and the
    instructions might not always apply.

    \section1 Hardware and Software Requirements

    To build and run Qt applications for Maemo 5 or Harmattan, you need the
    following:
    \list

        \o  Test device:

            \list

                \o  Maemo 5 device: Nokia N900 with software update release 1.3
                    (V20.2010.36-2) or later installed.

                \o  Harmattan device: Nokia N950, Nokia N9

            \endlist

       \if defined(qcmanual)
       \o  MADDE cross-platform Maemo development
           tool (installed as part of the \QSDK).
       \endif

       \o Nokia USB drivers.

       Only needed if you develop on Windows and if you use a USB connection
       to run applications on the device. The drivers are
       installed as part of the \QSDK. You can also download them from
       \l{https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=801&release_id=2655}{PC Connectivity}
       on the Maemo web site. Download and install the latest
       PC_Connectivity_<version>.exe (at the time of writing,
       PC_Connectivity_0.9.4.exe).

    \endlist

    \note The only supported build system for Maemo 5 and Harmattan in Qt
    Creator is qmake.

    \section1 Setting Up Connectivity in Devices

    You can connect your device to your development PC using either a USB or
    WLAN connection.

    For the device, you need to use a connectivity tool (Mad Developer on
    Maemo 5 and SDK Connectivity on Harmattan) to create the
    device-side end point for USB and WLAN connections. It provides no
    diagnostics functions but is essential for creating connections between the
    device and your development PC.

    To use a WLAN connection, you must activate WLAN on the device and connect
    it to the same WLAN as the development PC. The network address is displayed
    in the connectivity tool.

    To use a USB connection, you need to set up the device as a network device
    on the development PC.

    \note If you plan to connect your development PC to the device only over
    WLAN, you can
    ignore the USB-specific parts in the following sections.

    \section2 Starting SDK Connectivity on Harmattan Devices

    SDK Connectivity application is preinstalled in Harmattan devices and
    available in developer mode.

    To start SDK Connectivity:

    \list

        \o  On the device, select \gui {Settings > Security > Developer
            mode} to turn on developer mode.

        \o  Select \gui {Applications > SDK Connectivity} to start the SDK
            Connectivity application.

        \o  Select \gui {Select Connection} and then select the type of the
            connection to create: \gui WLAN or \gui USB.

        \o  For a USB connection, select the operating system of the
            development PC in \gui {Select Module}.

    \endlist

    \gui {Connectivity Details} displays the IP address and developer password.
    The address 192.168.2.15 is used by default. You must enter the password in
    Qt Creator.

    \section2 Installing and Configuring Mad Developer on Nokia N900

    Install Mad Developer on a Nokia N900 device and configure
    a connection between the development PC and a device.

    \note The following instructions describe Mad Developer 2.1. The process and
    text labels might differ on other Mad Developer versions.

    To install and configure Mad Developer:

     \list 1
         \o On the Nokia N900, select \gui{App Manager > Download} > \gui{Development} > \gui{mad-developer}
         to install the Mad Developer software package.
         \o Click \gui {Mad Developer} to start the Mad Developer application.

         \o To use a WLAN connection, activate WLAN on the device and connect
         to the same network as the development PC. You can see the network
         address in the \gui wlan0 field.

         \o To use a USB connection:

         \list a

         \o If you are using Microsoft Windows as development host, you must
         change the driver loaded for instantiating the connection.
         In the Mad Developer, select \gui{Manage USB} and select \gui{Load g_ether}.

         \o To set up the USB settings, click \gui Edit on the \gui usb0 row and
         confirm by clicking \gui Configure.

          \note By default, you do not need to make changes. The \gui usb0 row
          displays the IP address 192.168.2.15.

          \endlist

       \o Select \gui{Developer Password} to generate a password for a freshly
          created user called \bold developer. The password stays valid for as long
          as the password generation dialog is open. You enter the password when
          you configure the connection in Qt Creator.

          \image qtcreator-mad-developer-screenshot.png
    \endlist

    \section1 Installing Qt Mobility Libraries on Nokia N900

    To develop applications for the Nokia N900 devices that use the Qt Mobility
    APIs, you must install the
    Qt Mobility Libraries on the devices. The libraries are not available in the
    device package
    manager, and therefore, you must install them from the command line as the
    root user:

    \list 1

        \o On the device, in \gui Programs, select \c {X Terminal} to open a
        terminal window.

        \o To install Qt Mobility libraries, enter the following command:
        \c{/usr/lib/mad-developer/devrootsh apt-get install libqtm-*}

        \o To confirm the installation, enter: \c Y

        \o Close the terminal.

    \endlist

    \note the Qt Mobility Libraries are preinstalled on MeeGo Harmattan
    devices.

    \section1 Setting Up Network Connectivity on Development PC

    Use the network configuration tools on your platform to specify the
    connection to the device on the development PC. You need to do this
    only if you use a USB connection.

    \section2 Linux

    The device uses the IP address 192.168.2.15 with the subnet 255.255.255.0
    for its USB connection by default, so you can create the network interface
    with a different address inside the same subnet too.

    \note If you have changed the IP address of the device in the connectivity
    tool, you need to reflect those changes in your development PC USB
    network settings.

    Run the following command in a shell as root user:
                  \c{ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.14 up}

    \section2 Windows

    When you connect the device to your Windows PC, Windows tries to install a
    driver for the Linux USB Ethernet connection. In the
    \gui{Found New Hardware Wizard}, select \gui{No, not this time} in the
    first dialog and \gui{Install the software automatically} in the second
    dialog.

    To specify a network connection:

    \list 1

    \o Open the Network Connections window.

    \o Select the Linux USB Ethernet
    connection that is displayed as a new Local Area Connection.

    \o Edit the \gui {Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)} properties
    to specify the IP address for the connection.
    In the \gui {Use the following IP address} field, enter the following values:
    \list
       \o  \gui {IP Address}: \bold {192.168.2.14}
       \o  \gui SubnetMask: \bold {255.255.255.0}
       \o  \gui {Default gateway}: leave this field empty
    \endlist

    \endlist

    Depending on
    your version of Microsoft Windows you may have to unplug and re-plug the
    device to reload the driver with its configuration accordingly.

    \section1 Configuring Connections in Qt Creator

    To be able to run and debug applications on the Maemo or MeeGo Harmattan
    emulator and devices, you must set up connections to the emulator and
    devices in the Qt Creator build and run settings. If you install \QSDK, the
    connection to the emulator is configured automatically and you
    only need to configure a connection to the device.

    You use a wizard to create the connections. You can edit the settings later
    in \gui {Tools > Options... > Linux Devices > Device Configurations}.

    \image qtcreator-maemo-device-configurations.png "Maemo Device Configurations dialog"

    By default, you create the connection as the \e developer user. This
    protects real user data on the device from getting corrupted during
    testing. If you write applications that use Qt Mobility APIs, you might want
    to test them with real user data. To create a connection as a user, specify
    the \gui Username and \gui Password in Qt Creator. For more information, see
    \if defined(qcmanual)
    \l{Testing with User Data}.
    \else
    the Qt Creator Manual.
    \endif


    You can protect the connections between Qt Creator and
    a device by using either a password or an SSH key. If you use a password, you
    must generate it in the connectivity tool and enter it in Qt Creator every time
    you start the connectivity tool.

    If you do not have an SSH key, you can create it in Qt Creator.
    Encrypted keys are not supported. For more
    information, see
    \if defined(qcmanual)
    \l{Generating SSH Keys}.
    \else
    the Qt Creator Manual.
    \endif


    To configure connections between Qt Creator and a
    device:

    \list 1

        \o  To deploy applications and run them remotely on devices,
            specify parameters for accessing devices:

            \list a

            \o Connect your device to the development PC via a USB cable or
            a WLAN. For a USB connection, you are prompted to select the mode
            to use. Choose \gui{PC suite mode}.

            \note If you experience connection problems due to a USB port issue,
            switch to a different port or use WLAN to connect to the device.

            \o Select \gui {Tools > Options... > Linux Devices > Device
            Configurations > Add}, and add a new configuration for a
            hardware device.

            \image qtcreator-screenshot-devconf.png

            \endlist

        \if defined(qcmanual)

        \o To test applications on the emulator (QEMU) separately, you must
           create a connection to it from the development PC. If you installed
           \QSDK, the connection is created automatically and you can omit this
           step.

            \list a

                \o In Qt Creator, select \gui {Tools > Options... > Linux
