Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-50/topic/load-and-run-docker.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-50/topic/load-and-run-docker.html)

## Procedure

1. In the terminal of the host computer, run the following command to connect SSH
                    to the target device:
                
ssh root@<device-ip>Copy to clipboard

The password is `oelinux123`.
2. In the terminal of the target device, run the following command to create the
                    Docker directory in the target device:
                
mkdir -p /opt/docker
        chmod -R 777 /opt/dockerCopy to clipboard
3. In the terminal of the host computer, run the following command to copy the
                    Docker image TAR and scripts from Linux host computer to the target
                    device:
                
scp <Docker_image_path>/* root@<device-ip>:/opt/dockerCopy to clipboard

`<Docker_image_path>` is the directory where the Docker
                        image TAR file and scripts are installed.
4. In the terminal of the target device, run the following command to verify
                    whether the Docker directory configuration is successful:
                
docker info | grep StorageCopy to clipboard
5. In the terminal of the target device, run the following command to load the
                    Docker image:
                
cd /opt/dockerCopy to clipboard

        docker load -i /opt/docker/<qimsdk-docker-image-tar>Copy to clipboard

        chmod 777 docker_run_cdi_<target>.shCopy to clipboard

Note:
    - `<qimsdk-docker-image-tar>` is the name of the
                                file that has the Qualcomm IM SDK Docker image. For example,
                                    qimsdk.tar.
    - Replace `<target>`with:
        - `qcm6490` for Qualcomm Dragonwing^™^
                                        RB3 Gen 2 Development Kit
        - `qcs9100` for Qualcomm Dragonwing^™^
                                        RB8 Development Kit
        - `qcs8300` for Dragonwing IQ-8275
