Note: Enable secure shell (ssh) in a
            Permissive mode by following the steps mentioned in [How to SSH?](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-254/how_to.html#how-to-ssh-)

The following resources help you get started with typical sensors-related activities.

### Physical sensors on Qualcomm reference platform

See [Platform](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/platform.html), for the list of physical sensors
                present on the Qualcomm® RB3 Gen 2 development kit, its configuration, and a quick
                test method.

### Qualcomm sensing hub (QSH)

See [Features](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/supported_features.html), [Architecture](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/architecture.html), [Interfaces](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/qsh_api_reference.html), and [Software](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/software.html), for the QSH
                framework, APIs, and information about the design.

### Sample client app and sample algorithm

See [Samples](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/samples.html), for a sample client application on the application
                processor, which demonstrates the QSH client API usage. [Samples](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/samples.html)
                also includes a QSH-compliant sample algorithm integrated on the low-power processor
                to demonstrate QSH framework APIs and QSH sensor API usage.
Note: The QSH-compliant sample
                    algorithm is available only for Authorized users.

### Sensors test tools

See [Tools](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-7/test_tools.html), for various sensor test tools that test sensor
                availability and sensor operation.

### Integrate and validate custom QSH sensor driver and algorithm

Note: This feature is currently available only for
                Authorized users. To upgrade your access, go to: [www.qualcomm.com/support/working-with-qualcomm](https://www.qualcomm.com/support/working-with-qualcomm).

For using the QSH framework APIs to develop custom sensor algorithm and integrate
                sensor vendor developed QSH-compliant sensor driver and algorithm, see
                    *Develop*, *Configure*, and, *Bring up* in [Qualcomm Linux Sensors Guide -
                Addendum](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/resource/topics/80-70014-7A/overview.html).
