The Qualcomm® Intelligent Robotics (QIR) SDK is a collection of components that enable you to develop robotic features on Qualcomm platforms. This SDK is applicable to the Qualcomm Linux releases. The QIR SDK provides the following:
  • Reference code in Robot Operating System (ROS) packages as a starting point for developing robotic applications.
  • End-to-end sample applications that help evaluate robotic platforms.
  • Integrated cross-compile toolchain, including common build tools such as aarch64-oe-linux-gcc, make, cmake, and ROS core.
  • Tools and scripts that speed up the development.
  • Basic ROS nodes that help you build your ROS applications, such as qrb_ros_camera and qrb_ros_nn_inference.
This document guides you through developing your first sample application. It explains how to:
  • Download and flash the prebuilt Qualcomm Linux image
  • Configure the environment and run sample applications
  • Develop applications using the prebuilt image and QIR SDK
  • Generate customized images and the QIR SDK
