Setup

This guide will help you install Qualcomm AI Engine Direct (referred to most commonly as the “QNN SDK”), as well as all necessary dependencies for your use case.

Throughout these docs, we will refer to the “host machine” as the computer you are using to work with your AI model files. Meanwhile, the “target device” is the device that contains the information processing (IP) cores that will actually run the AI inferences.

In some cases, as with some devices running Windows on Snapdragon, a single machine may be acting as both the “host machine” and the “target device”.

• Linux Setup
• Windows Setup

Once you have finished with the setup guide, you can follow the CNN to QNN tutorial to understand how to use the QNN SDK. The tutorial covers how to build and run an AI model on your target device’s IP cores.
