# Build Qualcomm Linux

The `meta-qcom`, `meta-qcom-hwe`, and `meta-qcom-distro` sections describe the
machine configurations, distribution configurations, image recipes, and OVERRIDES.

The supported values for `MACHINE`, `DISTRO`, and `QCOM_SELECTED_BSP` are listed in the [table](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-27/topic/build_qualcomm_linux.html#qcom-selected-bsp).
To set up the environment, use these values and run the following command:

MACHINE=<machine configuration name> DISTRO=<Distro name> QCOM_SELECTED_BSP=<variant name> source setup-environment
    Copy to clipboard

The following table lists the possible image recipes to select and generate an image according to the selected
`MACHINE`, `DISTRO`, and `QCOM_SELECTED_BSP`. Run the following command:

bitbake <image recipe name>
