In the section AI Acceleration we had an overview of the options to work Machine Learning/AI applications in the Qualcomm Robotics RB5/RB6. In this section, we are going to cover everything from getting the Neural Processing SDK set up to testing a sample application in the board. As we saw, the Neural Processing SDK for Artificial Intelligence is a software accelerated, inference-only runtime engine for the execution of deep neural networks. The SDK has a wide range of uses, from executing a deep neural network, debugging, analysis, integration of networks to other applications and more. In the following sections, we are going to overview the steps to work with the SDK.

• The Downloading Requirements section covers how to download the Neural Processing SDK in the host computer.
• The Setup SDK Environment section covers the steps to setup the SDK environment for developing.
• The Install qtimlesnpe section covers how to install the qtimlesnpe element in the Qualcomm Robotics RB5/RB6 board.
• The Example project section covers the steps on how to build a sample application and test it.
