Is Qt for Embedded Linux supported for a Target embedded machine running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit?

Question

I want to create a full screen Qt application running directly to the frame buffer, without the X Window System in Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit embedded device (Intel Atom Quad-core processor). So I thought Qt for Embedded Linux would be the best way to go. But according to Qt website the options are either Embedded Android or Embedded Linux Software Stack. I need Ubuntu and not other Linux distros like Angstrom because the dependencies for the Qt app was tested for Ubuntu 12.04.

I have found similar questions being asked, but still am not sure whether it is possible.

It feels strange that you wish to use Ubuntu and you want to avoid using X. This is a sort of paradoxon.

Either way, Qt 5 has different backends, like eglfs, linuxfb, directb, and so forth as plugins. You can use them on desktop, too. This is not strictly restricted to "embedded".

Just make sure you pick up the appropriate plugin when running your application. Here you can see the detailed list of the available plugins.
