Can Designers run a prototype in real HW from a Qt Design Studio project? Does it offer some crosscompilation of a UI prototype to the target HW?

The designers can preview UIs on correctly configured embedded devices that are supported by "Qt for Device Creation". After setting up and connecting the device (via wired or wireless connection), Qt Design Studio takes care of the deployment and the device runs a preview. More information about the supported HW via https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/creator-live-preview-devices.html
