# Build with QSC Launcher

Use the Qualcomm Software Center (QSC) Launcher to download, compile, and flash the QIRP SDK.

**Prerequisites:**

- You have installed the QSC Launcher, with the steps in [Install QSC using a GUI](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-254/build_from_source_qsc_gui_intro.html#install-qsc-using-a-gui) of *Qualcomm Linux Build Guide*.

Note

QSC Launcher uses Docker. Install Docker on the host computer if you haven't.
If you are using WSL, QSC Launcher is not supported, please switch to QSC CLI.

## Download and compile

To use the QSC Launcher to download and compile the QIRP SDK, follow these steps:

**Steps:**

1. Open and sign in the QSC Launcher desktop application according to [Use QSC Launcher](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-254/build_from_source_qsc_gui_intro.html#use-qsc-launcher)
of *Qualcomm Linux Build Guide*.
2. Follow the steps in [Use QSC Launcher](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-254/build_from_source_qsc_gui_intro.html#use-qsc-launcher)
to specify environment, and on the **Select Resources** page, do the following:

    1. In the Base Workspace Path text box, specify a directory path where you want to download the software.
    2. Select the Software Product.
    3. Select the Distribution and the Release Tag. The following tables list the mapping between available software products and release tags, and the mapping between distributions and access levels.

Software product and release tag

        | Software product | Release tag | Hardware |
        | --- | --- | --- |
        | QCM6490.LE.1.0 | See [Qualcomm Linux Intelligent Robotics Product SDK (QIRP SDK) 2.0 Release Notes](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-260). For example, `r00349.1`. | Qualcomm Dragonwing^TM^ RB3 Gen 2 Vision Development Kit |
        | QCS9100.LE.1.0 | See [Qualcomm Linux Intelligent Robotics Product SDK (QIRP SDK) 2.0 Release Notes](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-260). For example, `r00214.2`. | Qualcomm Dragonwing^TM^ IQ-9075 Evaluation Kit |
        | QCS8300.LE.1.0 | See [Qualcomm Linux Intelligent Robotics Product SDK (QIRP SDK) 2.0 Release Notes](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70018-260). For example, `r00110.1`. | Qualcomm^®^ IQ-8 Beta Evaluation Kit |
