Qualcomm dev kit shortens Snapdragon platform design time-to-market
Wireless technology company Qualcomm Technologies has announced a development kit that enables developers to work across various Qualcomm Technologies software solutions to minimize time-to-market and increase customization. The Qualcomm Innovators Development Kit features a hardware development kit based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, software tools, and support for a new community of developers.
The kit will first be available to select universities and research institutions for on-device machine learning applications and will expand to additional developer segments in the future, such as security, multimedia, embedded systems computing, and more.
“Providing new developer communities with access to our technologies will further enable innovation that accelerates the digital economy and drives the greater good,” says Ziad Asghar, vice president of product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Improving time-to-market for developers by minimizing the time from intent to prototype will allow these communities to leverage our One Technology Roadmap for their product needs.”
Through the availability of tools and resources, including the Qualcomm AI Stack, the Qualcomm Innovators Development Kit allows developers to conduct on-device AI research in order to create cutting-edge AI applications, allowing for even more flexibility with end solutions. Several leading research institutions in the United States, including Duke, MIT, and University of California San Diego, are sampling the Qualcomm Innovators Development Kit in the coming months.
