Yocto Build issue solution for building mali libraries

-
I was trying my hands at Yocto and was having some success. Then one day I got stuck building the mali libs and it turned out there's a non-working URL behind this.

The error was like below:

**************************************

ERROR: libmali-xlnx-r7p0-00rel0-r0 do_fetch: Fetcher failure for URL: 'git://gitenterprise.xilinx.com/Graphics/mali400-xlnx-userspace.git;protocol=https;branch=master'. Unable to fetch URL from any source.

From a linux prompt, I try:  git clone https://gitenterprise.xilinx.com/Graphics/mali400-xlnx-userspace.git/


Cloning into 'mali400-xlnx-userspace'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://gitenterprise.xilinx.com/Graphics/mali400-xlnx-userspace.git/': Could not resolve host: gitenterprise.xilinx.com

**************************************

I googled some and found that there are some solutions. Further search led me to this solution at:

The solution is as below:

$ cd <yocto-project-directory>
$ repo init -u git://github.com/Xilinx/yocto-manifests -b rel-v2019.1$ repo sync$ repo start rel-v2019.1 --all
$ source setupsdk
# Note: Download the mali libraries from https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/embedded-software/petalinux-sdk/arm-mali-400-software-download.html
$ cd <path-to>/mali-400-userspace.tar$ tar -xvf mali-400-userspace.tar

Last some tweaks:

With this solution I could build the mali lib.

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

Selecting new phone plan

-
I use a Reliance Jio SIM as my one and only cellphone number. I used to have another, but I found little use for that. So I discontinued that other SIM card. It was a Vodafone SIM and I had bought it thinking I would be using it when I visit my hometown. Turns out it's not usable there. So adios. Coming back to Jio, it was working so far so good for a while. And it was quite cheap. Then they increased the fares about 4-5 months ago. And it was costing ~Rs 7 per day. This was for unlimited Jio-Jio calling, ~300minutes free to other telcos, and 1.5GB daily cellular data. Now I got home internet, so I thought to cut costs on this. The current plan goes for INR555 for 84 days. This includes 1.4GB 4G cellular data per day, 300 min calling to other telcos, and jio-jio free. That's Rs 6.6 per day. Now I'm not even using 30minutes calling per day. And due to home internet my cellular usage has gone down. So I decided to go for some other cheaper plan. This one is INR1299 for 336 da...
