Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-4/topic/qdte-tools.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70015-4/topic/qdte-tools.html)

QDTE is a tool used to configure the DTB by editing the
            xbl\_config.elf file.

You can download QDTE from [QSC](https://softwarecenter.qualcomm.com/#/) and launch the UI using the command
                `./qdte`.

QDTE offers the following features:
- Allows for experimentation with configuration settings in a test environment.
- Opens/reads a DTB file directly or parses an xbl\_config.elf
                    file and extracts the embedded DTB files. In the latter case, when the file is
                    saved, the xbl\_config.elf file is regenerated with
                    signing.

Do not use the QDTE tool to create the device tree source/device tree source inclusion
            (DTS/DTSI) files that represent the input source. 
Note:QDTE
                v1.3.0 is supported on:
- Ubuntu 22.04 Linux host machines
- Windows 10 and 11 host machines
