Recently I have bought a brand new Raspberry Pi 4B with 8Gb RAM and installed Ubuntu Desktop 21.04 there.
My goal is to create a GUI on a touchscreen which controls GPIO pins (some hardware devices).
Since controlling GPIO is done by Python I would like to use is to write GUI as well. I saw a couple of tutorials and decided to use PySide6 + Qt Quick. This kind of program runs fine on my personal laptop but when trying to download required dependencies on Raspberry, like:
python3.9 -m pip install PySide6
I got the following error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PySide6 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for PySide6
I suppose the issue might be caused by the cross compiling.
Do you know if there is any chance of running PySide6 and QtQuick on a Raspberry Pi 4B?
UPDATE:
Tested on a Raspberry Pi 4B with Manjaro ARM KDE Plasma 21.07 64 bit OS
Run the following commands:
* Update the package database and update all packages on the OS:
sudo pacman -Syu
* Install PySide6:
sudo pacman -Syu pyside6
* Install Qt6:
sudo pacman -Syu qt6
* Install pip3:
sudo pacman -Syu python-pip
* Install gpizero using pip3:
sudo pip3 install gpiozero
* Install rpi.gpio:
sudo env CFLAGS="-fcommon" pip install rpi.gpio
* Support access to gpio:
sudo groupadd gpio
sudo usermod -a -G gpio user
sudo su
cat << EOF > /etc/udev/rules.d/90-gpio.rules
KERNEL=="gpiomem", OWNER="root", GROUP="gpio"
EOF
exit
