Abstract
Qualcomm-Canonical partnership provides customers and developers with a reliable, security-focused, high performance, certified operating system platform. We can now access the GA release of Ubuntu on Qualcomm Dragonwing™ platforms for both Desktop and Server, with the ability to create, test and customize your use cases on-device. In this topic, we plan to empower you with the tools and opportunities to harness the power of the platform with out-of-box Ubuntu experience. Developers will be able to build once and deploy on several Qualcomm Dragonwing platforms.
