I have not… but x86 helps a bit with compatibility.

The boards are pulls from some failed new product that never launched. So these boards are being sold for less than what they cost to make. Quite high performance for a sbc, and x86 is convenient. Weird boards though!

Did you build this with QT Creator via the GUI, or qmake in a terminal?
I updated the original post with the build steps.

I tried qmake 5.0 with the required libraries on raspi 3b+, but then ran into errors.
Feel free to post and I’ll do some digging. Did you install everything that I listed above?
Can you note raspbian version and vesc-tool version in the first post? It’s a moving target 
(and awesome, thank you!)

Done! I’ll update the post accordingly with new builds.

The raspi now function as octoprint server. Maybe it will work on a zero.

Yes but the source is open so just make a script that builds a binary on-the-fly in the /tmp folder, runs it, then deletes it. In a container. 
The container will not contain the binary…

Yup, a container build environment.
Eskate DevOps… that’s niche.

It’s similar to the rhel/centos situation, right? You can distribute binaries built from source if copyrighted material is stripped? So all mentions of vesc?
Building on the fly is annoying, it takes more than a few seconds.
Ah, but a container that spits out a specific version of the binary… hmm

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Hi…I already tried doing that on a 3.5 inch GPIO touchscreen. But since qt apps dont scale like that, it was impossible to see the whole window without maybe panning around the screen. Instead I was thinking of creating an iphone hotspot and connecting to the raspi via VNC.
That idea is strongly overlapping with what I’m trying to get working now. Trying to use a raspberry pi zero W as a bridge for the VESC UART so can initially just read all the data coming off of there and dump to a file then have an AP setup on the pi-zero wifi and small web server to host the file (possibly some sort of front-end to make it look nicer than raw data/messages). What I’m thinking wouldn’t be the full interface but something akin to metr (just using SD on pizero for logging and it’s wifi capabilities instead of a bluetooth module and the phone app since I don’t want to support a phone app for free)
Unfortunately right now I haven’t been able to read the data through GPIO 14/15 like I think I should be able to so I’m sort of stuck, but going to take a few more cracks at it later in the week most likely (family already came through so I’m done with Thanksgiving 
)

Finally got around to try this, and I can confirm, the instructions worked for me today, using PI4B
Hello has anyone got this going on the latest v e s c tool version 2? Anyone compile any version of v e s c tool for pi zero targets?
Does BLE connectivity work?
