Qt for MCUs enables creation of fluid graphical user interfaces (GUI) with a low memory footprint on displays powered by microcontrollers (MCU). It is a complete graphics toolkit with everything needed to design, develop, and deploy GUIs on MCUs. It enables a unified technology approach for an entire product line to create a consistent and branded end user experience. Watch the Qt for MCUs video showcasing different use cases.

Qt for MCUs 1.0 has already been adopted by lead customers in Japan, Europe and the US, who have started developing their next generation product. This release has been tested on microcontrollers from NXP, Renesas and STMicroelectronics. The software release contains Platform Adaptations for NXP i.MX RT1050 and STM32F769i as the default Deployment Platforms. Platform Adaptations for several other NXP and STM32 microcontrollers as well as the Renesas RH850 microcontroller are available as separate Deployment Platform Packages. On request, Qt Professional Services can provide new Platform Adaptions for additional microcontrollers.

Qt for MCUs comes with the new QML rendering engine, Qt Quick Ultralite (QUL), that facilitates reuse of engineering competencies and QML assets with the upcoming Qt 5.14. QUL allows applications to run on bare metal or on a real-time operating system and within the internal memory of an MCU. Those familiar with earlier technology previews will now find localization for left-to-right languages and UI styling and theming in addition to the documentation and sample apps as part of this release.
