Answer 1

I just made my QtQuick application run on a Beaglebone Black and AI. I've done it with C++, but probably my process helps you even though. I didn't cross compile, but I've built it on the Beaglebone itself. That was easier for me, since I had several issues with cross compiling.
update your BBB
1.1 sudo apt-get update
1.2 sudo apt-get upgrade
install x-window and GUI on BBB (https://aruljohn.com/blog/xwindow/)
2.1. apt-get install x-window-system
2.2 sudo apt-get install xfce4
install OpenGL (https://medium.com/geekculture/a-beginners-guide-to-setup-opengl-in-linux-debian-2bfe02ccd1e)
just follow these instructions. Installing GLFW befor the make i had to install:
sudo apt install libxinerama-dev
sudo apt install libxcursor-dev
sudo apt install libxi-dev
install your needed Qt libraries
4.1 apt-get install libqt5qml5 qml-module-qtquick-controls qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev
if not yet done: sudo startx to start GUI desktop
optional: to test Qt and EGLFS (https://www.elinux.org/BeagleBoneBlack/SGX_%2B_Qt_EGLFS_%2B_Weston)
6.1 apt-get install qtquickcontrols5-examples
6.2 cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/examples/quickcontrols/extras/dashboard
6.3 sudo qmake
6.4 sudo make
6.5 export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs
6.6 export QT_QPA_EGLFS_INTEGRATION=none
6.7 ./dashboard
Now you should see the dashboard opened on your screen.
send your Qt project to your BBB
7.1 sudo rsync -avz /home/sivo/desktop/Benchmark_Suite (or whatever your folder and project is called)
7.2 debian#192.168.178.129:/home/debian/Benchmark_Suite
7.3 qmake
7.4 make
7.5 ./Benchmark_Suite
That worked well for me. Hope for you as well. BTW: My Qt project was developed in Qt 5.15.
Good luck!
