    \title Create kits for VxWorks devices

    To develop Qt applications for VxWorks, build \l {Qt for VxWorks} and create
    a VxWorks \l {Kits}{kit}. Currently, you can develop applications with Qt 6.8
    and build them for VxWorks 24.03 devices. You cannot connect the devices to
    \QC yet, so you must deploy the built packages to the devices and run them
    there manually.

    \note Enable the VxWorks plugin to use it.

    To create a kit:

    \list 1
        \li Go to \preferences > \uicontrol Devices > \uicontrol VxWorks.
            \image {qtcreator-preferences-devices-vxworks.webp} {VxWorks tab in Devices preferences}
        \li In \uicontrol {VxWorks installation folder}, select the directory
            where the WindRiver installer installed VxWorks.
        \li Select \uicontrol {Add Kit}.
        \li In \uicontrol {Kit name}, enter a name for the kit.
            \image {qtcreator-create-new-kit-vxworks.webp} {Create New Kit dialog}
        \li In \uicontrol {Qt version}, select the folder that contains qmake for
            the Qt VxWorks build.
        \li In \uicontrol {VBS path}, enter the path to the VxWorks VSB directory.
        \li In \uicontrol {Host name}, enter the host name or IP address of the
            device.
        \li Select \uicontrol OK to create a VxWorks kit.
        \li Go to \uicontrol Projects > \uicontrol {Build & Run} to activate the
            kit for your project.
    \endlist

    \note To deploy the built package, you can add a build step to the deploy
    configuration of the project that copies the built binary of your project to
    a NFS directory shared with the device.
