Using Qt for Python for embedded system development
summary
Shows that a Qt for Python app (PySide2) runs on an embedded Arm target inside Debian Buster containers and can be remote debugged over SSH from Visual Studio Code with breakpoints and a 10s deploy loop after the first build. Demonstrates a basic QWidget hello world, a QML UI, and a small device-tree inspector via PiFdt that reads host DT overlays. Uses Qt for Wayland, rsync-mounted source into containers, and prefers distro packages over pip for binary compatibility. Claims: fast prototyping, ok for non‑performance code.
