### Prebuilt-package

**Contents of prebuilts**

- **Robotics image**: An image based on the Qualcomm Linux release with
the Robot Operating System (ROS) core packages added and the QIR SDK
included by default. You can directly use the robotics image to get
an out-of-the-box experience.
- **QIR SDK**: Provides not only a runtime installation package with
the out-of-the-box experience, but also a cross-compilation
toolchain. Using that toolchain, you can quickly develop applications
based on the sample code.
- **Robotics eSDK**: Provides the Yocto toolchain for building the
robotics image.

## Contents of release

This release includes the following:

The Qualcomm^®^ Intelligent Robotics (QIR) SDK

- To get started with the QIR SDK, see [Get started with QIR SDK](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70022-265/quick_start.html), which helps you download and install the prebuilt image and try out the demo application.
- For optional usage including building QIR SDK, upgrading component SDKs, see [Optional developer workflows](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70022-265/optional-workflows.html), which provides the steps to use QSC-CLI, QSC Launcher, and GitHub workflows to build and install the QIR SDK.
- For procedures such as developing a robotics application, see the [Qualcomm^®^ Intelligent Robotics (QIR) SDK 2.0 User Guide](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70022-265).

## New features

**Qualcomm**^®^ **Intelligent Robotics (QIR) SDK 2.4.0**

- Supports the `sample_depth_estimation` sample application.
- Supports the `sample_face_detection` sample application.
- Supports the `sample_hrnet_pose_detection` sample application.
- Supports the `simulation_follow_me` sample application.
- Supports the `simulation_sample_pick_and_place` sample application.
- Supports the `simulation_remote_assistant` sample application.
- Provides guidance for pipeline application development.
- Adds the list of APIs provided by QIR SDK.

## Sample applications

**Qualcomm**^®^ **Intelligent Robotics (QIR) SDK 2.4.0**

For a complete list of sample applications of QIR SDK, see [QIR
samples list](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70022-265/qirp_sdk_sample.html).

## Limitations

- The sample image classification is non-functional due to deprecation of the AI model `ResNet101Quantized` at the time of release.
- Some of the functions or samples in this SDK require a robot chassis to be activated during testing, or a keyboard to control the movement of a robot. To use those functions and samples, you must have your own mobile robot. For details, see [QIR SDK sample applications](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70022-265/qirp_sdk_sample.html).
