# Build with Docker Build the QIR SDK along with the robotics image using the Dockerfile, building upon the Qualcomm Linux image. 1. [Set up the host computer](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-265/topic/docker_workflow.html#section-host-machine-setup-docker) 2. [Build the robotics image and QIR SDK artifacts](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-265/topic/docker_workflow.html#section-build-robotics-image-and-qirp-sdk-artifacts-docker) ## Set up the host computer **Prerequisites** Ensure that your Ubuntu host meets the requirements in [Host computer requirements](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-265/topic/qirp_sdk_build.html#section-host-machine-requirements) and is set up with the necessary software tools installed and configured for use. To set up the host computer for building QIR SDK in Docker, follow these steps: 1. Install the required packages. sudo apt-get install -y git Copy to clipboard 2. Clone the `qcom-download-utils` git repository, which provides a Dockerfile for Qualcomm public Yocto layers and a few helper scripts. mkdir cd git clone https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/le/qcom-download-utils.git cd qcom-download-utils Copy to clipboard 3. Check if your host computer is configured accurately and install Docker. bash utils/check_config.sh qcom-robotics-full-image bash docker/docker_setup.sh Copy to clipboard 4. Create a Yocto Docker image. bash docker/docker_build.sh -f ./docker/dockerfiles/Dockerfile_22.04 -t qcom-6.6.90-qli.1.5-ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1_22.04 Copy to clipboard Note - If you encounter issues with Docker, see [Troubleshoot Docker](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-254/troubleshoot_sync_build_and_flash.html#docker). - If you encounter `apt install` errors during the build process, check whether an outdated Ubuntu 22.04 image is used. After ensuring your data is secure, either execute `docker rmi ubuntu:22.04` or update the image through other means; then, rerun the commands above. ## Build the robotics image and QIR SDK artifacts Build the robotics image and QIR SDK artifacts using the Dockerfile. bash docker/docker_run.sh \ -M \ --release="qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1" \ --build-override="" \ --alternate-repo="true" Copy to clipboard **Example** bash docker/docker_run.sh \ -M qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-kit \ --release="qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1" \ --build-override="custom" \ --alternate-repo="true" Copy to clipboard | **Parameter** | **RB3 Gen 2 Vision Kit** | **IQ-9 Beta Evaluation Kit** | **IQ-8 Beta Evaluation Kit** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `Machine_name` | `qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-kit` | `qcs9075-iq-9075-evk` | `qcs8300-ride-sx` | | `Build_override` | `custom` | `custom`


`base` | `custom`


`base` | ## Debug in the Docker If you are familiar with Yocto, you can use the interactive terminal to debug in Docker by performing the following steps: 1. Run the preceding commands to set up and build in the docker environment, and then run the following commands: cd /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1 bash docker run -it -v "${HOME}/.gitconfig":"/home/${USER}/.gitconfig" -v "${HOME}/.netrc":"/home/${USER}/.netrc" -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) qcom-6.6.90-qli.1.5-ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1_22.04 /bin/bash Copy to clipboard 2. Set the environment variables and compile according to steps in [Set up the build environment](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-265/topic/github_workflow.html#section-set-up-build-environment). Note - The Base version is intended for developers who want a purely upstream and open-source software stack without Qualcomm proprietary software and power/performance value adds. - The Custom version provides a richer set of functionalities and includes Qualcomm’s value adds like SDKs and power performance improvements. It's suited for developers who rely on Qualcomm’s value adds and proprietary/downstream software in their products. - For more details, see [Software Overview](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70020-252/qualcomm-linux-sw-overview.html). **Results:** Tab RB3 Gen 2 Vision Development Kit Tab IQ-9075 Evaluation Kit Tab IQ-8 Beta Evaluation Kit - QIR SDK artifacts: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-kit_custom/tmp-glibc/deploy/qirpsdk_artifacts/qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-kit/qirp-sdk_.tar.gz > Copy to clipboard - Robotics image: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-kit_custom/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/qcs6490-rb3gen2-vision-kit/qcom-robotics-full-image > Copy to clipboard > > > **Example using** `custom` **build override** - QIR SDK artifacts: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs9075-iq-9075-evk_custom/tmp-glibc/deploy/qirpsdk_artifacts/qcs9075-iq-9075-evk/qirp-sdk_.tar.gz > Copy to clipboard - Robotics image: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs9075-iq-9075-evk_custom/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/qcs9075-iq-9075-evk/qcom-robotics-full-image > Copy to clipboard > > > **Example using** `base` **build override** - QIR SDK artifacts > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs9075-iq-9075-evk_base/tmp-glibc/deploy/qirpsdk_artifacts/qcs9075-iq-9075-evk/qirp-sdk_.tar.gz > Copy to clipboard - Robotics image: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs9075-iq-9075-evk_base/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/qcs9075-iq-9075-evk/qcom-robotics-full-image > Copy to clipboard **Example using** `custom` **build override** - QIR SDK artifacts: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs8300-ride-sx_custom/tmp-glibc/deploy/qirpsdk_artifacts/qcs8300-ride-sx/qirp-sdk_.tar.gz > Copy to clipboard - Robotics image: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs8300-ride-sx_custom/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/qcs8300-ride-sx/qcom-robotics-full-image > Copy to clipboard **Example using** `base` **build override** - QIR SDK artifacts: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs8300-ride-sx_base/tmp-glibc/deploy/qirpsdk_artifacts/qcs8300-ride-sx/qirp-sdk_.tar.gz > Copy to clipboard - Robotics image: > > > /qcom-download-utils/qcom-6.6.90-QLI.1.5-Ver.1.1_robotics-product-sdk-1.1/build_qcs8300-ride-sx_base/tmp-glibc/deploy/images/qcs8300-ride-sx/qcom-robotics-full-image > Copy to clipboard ## Flash the robotics image to devices To flash the robotics image to the device, see [Flash the robotics image](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-265/topic/flash_the_robotics_image.html#flash-and-install), using the `qcom-robotics-full-image` generated in [Build the robotics image and QIR SDK artifacts](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-265/topic/docker_workflow.html#section-build-robotics-image-and-qirp-sdk-artifacts-docker).
