# `meta-qcom`

The `meta-qcom` metadata layer is hosted at
[git.yoctoproject.org](http://git.yoctoproject.org) and provides
recipes to build the Qualcomm OSS. Build the software image using the
following recipes from the `meta-qcom` layer.

| Recipe | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `recipes-devtools/qdl/qdl_git.bb` | The Qualcomm Download (QDL) flashing tool communicates<br>with the USB devices displaying ID 05c6:9008 to upload a flash<br>loader and uses this recipe to flash the images. |
| `recipes-support/pd-mapper/pd-mapper_git.bb` | The Qualcomm `pd-mapper` is an implementation for the<br>protection domain mapper service. This service configures and<br>manages protection domains, ensuring secure communication<br>between applications and various remote processors. |
| `recipes-support/qrtr/qrtr_git.bb` | The Qualcomm Router (QRTR) is an inter-process communication mechanism<br>used in Qualcomm system on chips (SoCs). QRTR allows communication between different processors in the system,<br>such as the application processor and the modem, using a socket-style programming interface in the user space. |
| `recipes-support/initrdscripts/initramfs-module-copy-modules_1.0.bb` | `initramfs-framework` module for copying kernel modules from<br>`initramfs` to `rootfs`. |
