3.1.2 Platform Suitability & Real-World Scaling

  • Low-tier Sitara devices (AM335, AM62L): Viable with rigorous optimization and an appropriately scoped UX. Minimize QML nesting depth, reduce overdraw and validate the graphics path early. Qt Widgets can be suitable for narrow data-oriented interfaces, but modern touch UX requires substantial product-specific design investment.
  • Mid-tier Sitara devices (AM62, AM62A): A strong target for Qt Quick. These platforms offer a balance of CPU, RAM and graphics capability for moderately complex applications. Measure start-up, memory and sustained frame behavior on target hardware; Qt Quick Compiler can reduce launch-time work.
  • High-tier Sitara devices (AM62P, AM67, AM67A): Qt is an excellent choice, with hardware-accelerated graphics paths and scope for rich multi-display UI designs. Confirm the production graphics stack and validate composition and bandwidth for the intended display configuration.
