Minimal Linux dist to run Qt-app from

Qt for embedded Linux does not need X11, Qt/X11 needs X11. When using Qt for embedded Linux, you need to provide it with a framebuffer, keyboard and pointer device. That is pretty much it.

Putting everything in an initramfs, means that as soon as the kernel has been loaded, everything will run from RAM, i.e. be really quick.

Is there anything out there ready-to-use so I only need to add my compiled program?
