Resources to learn how to create a display-driving embedded linux application?

  Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.

  

If Qt licensing turns out to be unreasonable for you either way, there are a few other graphical toolkit options. One of my favorites is LVGL. That one might be closer to what you're used to in the microcontroller C space; very very light on resources, but could be a lot more work to develop (unless you're just so used to C that you pick it up naturally). Running it on Linux is a lot easier than on a microcontroller since you can use SDL or write direct to the framebuffer. LVGL UIs can also be prototyped fairly easily in a web browser playground.

  Crankshaft: A turnkey GNU/Linux solution that transforms a Raspberry Pi to an Android Auto head unit.

  

Crankshaft does this--it's a modified version of Raspberry Pi OS which starts its own GUI app instead of the desktop. It uses the same kinds of scripts as the Raspberry Pi OS [https://github.com/RPi-Distro/Pi-gen](Pi-gen)

  Open source hardware design for the CutiePi tablet

  

One decent example I can think of off the top of my head is the CutiePi, which is a cool little tablet with a UI built with QML.
