- Robotics image: A flashable image based on the Qualcomm Linux release with the ROS core packages added and the QIR SDK included by default. This image is flashed directly onto the target device. You can directly use the robotics image to get an out-of-the-box experience.
- QIR SDK: A package that runs on your host computer. It provides not only a runtime installation package with the out-of-the-box experience, but also a cross-compilation toolchain. Using that toolchain on your host computer, you can quickly cross-compile applications for the target device in a shorter time based on the sample code.
- Robotics eSDK: The package is installed on your host computer. It provides a complete Yocto environment that allows you to synchronize, modify, compile, and install applications. For details, see Build the robotics image with the prebuilt robotics eSDK.
