# Develop an application

You can create AI and multimedia applications on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ RB3 Gen 2 Development Kit using the Qualcomm^®^ Visual Studio Code Extension. It’s an integrated application development environment for Qualcomm development kits. The extension runs on Ubuntu (or WSL with Ubuntu) and facilitates device configuration and software development, including compilation, debugging, and binary flashing.
