# Run a Qualcomm IMSDK Sample Application

The Qualcomm IM SDK includes sample applications that demonstrate the AI/ML capabilities of Qualcomm Dragonwing IoT platforms. These applications serve as a reference for building custom use cases. For the complete list of available reference applications, see [Qualcomm IM SDK sample applications](https://imsdkdocs.qualcomm.com/sample-application/ai-sample-applications).

<Note>
  New to the IM SDK? See the [IM SDK overview](../topic/develop-your-own-application-im-sdk) for how its pipelines work, and [Discover SDKs → IM SDKs](https://imsdkdocs.qualcomm.com) for the full SDK reference and sample-application source.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* The device is flashed with the prebuilt Qualcomm Linux multimedia image (`qcom-multimedia-image`), which includes the Qualcomm IM SDK and its GStreamer-based AI plugins. Some IM SDK plugins are proprietary and are included only in the `qcom-multimedia-proprietary-image`.
* The device has a Wi-Fi (internet) connection and SSH enabled to download the model and label files used by the sample applications. If the SSH setup is not done, follow [Setup an SSH connection](https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Technologies/Ethernet/get-started-with-ethernet#set-up-an-ssh-connection) to enable Wi-Fi and SSH on the device.
