Learning Resources
Quick tips for programming and troubleshooting the development kit
The Qualcomm® Robotics RB3 platform is built around the Qualcomm® SDA845 system on chip (SoC) for heterogeneous computing, computer vision, multimedia, security and connectivity. For artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, the platform includes the Qualcomm® AI Engine, with up to three tera-operations per second (3 TOPS) available for machine learning inference.
Plus, the development kit includes the robotics-focused Turbo X D845 SOM from Thundercomm, which supports Linux and Robot Operating System (ROS). The development kit is compliant with the 96Boards open hardware specification.
The following pages include quick tips that supplement the Qualcomm Robotics RB3 Linux User Guide available from Thundercomm (“Technical Documents” tab). The guide contains important details for loading and testing the software on the platform.
(Note that some of the online resources described in these pages refer to the DragonBoard™ 845c.)
