# Qualcomm® Telematics SDK IDE

![](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/bg-grey-software-desktop-1)

Qualcomm® Telematics SDK IDE is a Visual Studio Code plugin for automotive developers to develop, deploy, debug, and test telematics applications and middleware using the Qualcomm Telematics SDK.

Easily develop, debug, deploy, and test connected-car and other automotive applications and middleware for Qualcomm Technologies telematics products using C++ APIs from the [Qualcomm Telematics SDK](https://www.qualcomm.com/developer/software/qualcomm-telematics-sdk). The Yocto and simulation toolchain integration of the Qualcomm Telematic SDK IDE enable rapid iterative development, including off-target simulator support for cases without hardware.

Distributed as a Visual Studio Code plugin through the Qualcomm® Software Center, the Qualcomm Telematics SDK IDE enables you to develop in a familiar and well-supported environment so you can focus on your application's business logic.

Download the free Qualcomm Telematics SDK IDE to build, test, and deploy your automotive applications and middleware today.
