# Getting started

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/80-70017-254/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/80-70017-7/platform.html).

## QSH

For the QSH framework, APIs, and the design information, see [Features](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70017-7/supported_features.html), [Architecture](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70017-7/architecture.html), [Interfaces](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70017-7/qsh_api_reference.html), and [Software](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70017-7/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/80-70017-7/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/80-70017-7/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
