A Qtopia package is a combination of a Qtopia edition plus other products such as Qtopia Core. Each package targets a different user group and depending on the package type the deliverable may be a full source code product or a subset of the source code plus pre-built Qtopia binaries.
The two types of commercial packages available for Qtopia:
are described in the following sections.
Qtopia OEM Kits are source packages that are targeted at OEM companies developing mobile devices running Qtopia. It is required for installation and distribution of Qtopia on devices and allows the customer to develop Qtopia applications as well as to adapt Qtopia to fit on a device. The Qtopia OEM Kit comprises a number of Qtopia developer licenses and the full Qtopia source code.
To install and distribute Qtopia on commercial devices both the Qtopia OEM Kit and Qtopia Runtime licenses are required.
There are two package options for developing commercial Qtopia applications:
These SDKs contain a complete Software Development environment that can be installed and executed on both Linux and Windows. Within the environment Qtopia based applications can be developed, compiled, and debugged and then installed onto a device such as the Greenphone. To simplify debugging of Qtopia itself each SDK comes with an additional Qtopia source package. The exact contents of the source package and the rights to modify Qtopia depend on the type of SDK license.
