What is the benefit? Why is this valuable?

Save time with imports of Figma designs for MCU projects

​

What are common use cases?

Design team uses Figma, development team develops with Qt for MCUs

​

Technical information

Currently, the QDS Figma bridge can produce QML code that is incompatible with QUL. When the active project is a Qt for MCUs project, the bridge should make sure that the generated code is compatible and optimized for QUL.

​

Details from a previous analysis can be found here: https://intranet.qt.io/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=QOM&title=Spike%3A+Investigate+and+list+issues+with+QDS+bridges+for+MCU+projects

​

The architecture in QDS should enable generating platform-specific QML code, as we'll want to implement that in the future.

​

The QML code generated by the bridge must be optimized to be as small as possible (flash and RAM).

​

We'd need documentation for designers that explain what to do or not to do in Figma to result in code that works for MCU.
