The following resources enable you to get started with typical sensor activities. Before
            performing activities on the device, enable the secure shell (SSH) in Permissive mode by
            following the steps mentioned in [How to SSH?](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-254/how_to.html#how-to-ssh-).

### Physical sensors on Qualcomm reference platform

For the list of physical sensors present on the development
                kit, its configuration, and a quick test method, see [Platform](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/platform.html).

### QSH

For the QSH framework, APIs, and the design information, see [Features](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/supported_features.html), [Architecture](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/architecture.html), [Interfaces](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/qsh_api_reference.html), and [Software](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/software.html).

### Sample client application and sample algorithm

For a sample client application on the application processor, which demonstrates the
                QSH client API usage, see [Samples](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/samples.html). It 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 to licensed users with authorized access.

### Sensors test tools

For various sensor test tools that
                test the sensor availability and operation, see [Tools](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70015-7/test_tools.html).

### 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 [Bring up](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/resource/topics/80-70015-7A/bringup_and_develop.html), [Develop](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/resource/topics/80-70015-7A/develop_and_integrate.html), and [Configure](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/resource/topics/80-70015-7A/configuration_customization.html) in [Qualcomm Linux Sensors Guide -
                Addendum](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/resource/topics/80-70015-7A/overview.html).
