The Qualcomm® Hexagon™ SDK is designed to enable developers to optimize the features
        and performance of multimedia software, by opening access to embedded computing resources on
        the Hexagon DSP.

## Qualcomm Hexagon SDK Products

<cite class="cite">Qualcomm Hexagon SDK Products</cite> is a package released as part of Qualcomm
            Package Manager 3. It bundles a set of tools, software, and documentation designed to
            assist developers in running applications on Snapdragon devices by using the Hexagon
            DSP.

- **Hexagon SDK 6.x**: The base SDK contains various tools to build, compile,
                debug, profile and sign the Hexagon DSP. It also provides shared Hexagon libraries
                for run-time application, such as FastRPC framework.
- **Compute Add-on 1.x**: The compute add-on contains libraries and tools to
                develop general compute-intensive applications, which are primarily focused on data,
                image and video processing use cases.
- **Audio 1.x**: The audio add-on contains libraries and examples to help you
                develop general audio related modules and applications that are primarily focused on
                signal processing use cases. (ADSP only.)
- **Low Power Artificial Intelligence (LPAI)**: The LPAI add-on contains libraries
                and tools to provide ML runtime and optimization for low power and low memory use
                cases. (ADSP only.)
