The Qualcomm Robotics RB5 Development Kit includes resources and guidance for hardware designers to design, produce, and test custom board designs for a variety of different product categories. The development kit platform can be used evaluate a number of different types of peripheral components as part of the early design process and can also be used to start software development for selected components prior to availability of initial product hardware board availability.

The Robotics RB5 Platform Hardware Design Guide provides a description of the components,
      subsystems, and interfaces of the overall chipset, and also includes guidelines and
      recommendations for PCB design and layout. In addition to the Hardware Design Guide, the
      overall documentation set for this platform includes data sheets for all components, design
      guides and checklists, reference design schematics, and simulation model libraries.
