Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-51/topic/incremental-qim-product-sdk-flash.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-51/topic/incremental-qim-product-sdk-flash.html)

Upgrading the QIMP SDK involves generating the new files using the CLI method, and
        installing them on the device.

Before you begin, ensure that the QIMP SDK artifacts located at
                <absolute\_workspace\_path>/build-qcom-wayland/qim-prod-sdk
            are generated, see [Use CLI method](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-51/topic/building-platform-image-with-qim-layer.html#building-platform-image-with-qim-layer__p_az1_2kk_5bc).

Customize and install the QIMP SDK directly on the device:

1. Push the qim-prod-sdk artifacts on the
                device:

        scp -r qim-prod-sdk_1.0.0.tar.gz root@[IP-ADDR]:/optCopy to clipboard
2. Extract the tarfile of artifacts inside the
                device:

        cd /opt/Copy to clipboard

        tar -xvf qim-prod-sdk_1.0.0.tar.gzCopy to clipboard
3. Install the artifacts on the
                device:

        cd qim-prod-sdkCopy to clipboard

        bash install.shCopy to clipboard
