The Qualcomm Robotics RB5 development kit includes the Qualcomm QRB5165 system-on-module (SoM), which includes the main processor, SDRAM, Flash memory, and wireless connectivity components. The SoM is mounted on the Robotics RB5 development kit mainboard, which also includes multiple connectors to support a variety of different peripheral interfaces and stackable mezzanine cards.

## Identify a hardware variant
The hardware in RB5 is available in two variants:
- Package-on-Package (POP)
- Non-POP
To flash an appropriate build, you need to identify the appropriate RB5 hardware variant.
To identify the hardware variant, run the following command:
adb shell `cat /sys/devices/soc0/soc_id`Copy to clipboard
An output of 455 denotes that the hardware is a POP variant, and an output of 496 denotes a
non-POP variant.
