Remote Profiling On Snapdragon Profiler

You can use Snapdragon Profiler (SDP) to profile QDC-hosted remote devices. Follow the steps below to connect.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Snapdragon Profiler installed on your laptop.
A running QDC interactive session for your device.
Your QDC API key. Please get the API key from the QDC UI under Users → Settings → API Keys.
An SSH key pair for QDC SSH Key. Either upload your existing SSH public key or generate a new key from QDC.

The following command-line tools on your PATH:

Download the release package for your host OS and extract it to a folder:

Windows: QDC_SDP_Tunnel_Windows_Latest.zip

Linux / macOS: QDC_SDP_Tunnel_Linux_Latest.tar.gz

Run all of the following steps from the extracted folder.

Copy the config template and fill in your QDC API key and SSH key path.

Windows:

copy config.local.bat.template config.local.bat
rem  Edit config.local.bat — set QDC_API_KEY and SSH_KEY

Linux / macOS:

cp config.local.sh.template config.local.sh
# Edit config.local.sh — set QDC_API_KEY and SSH_KEY

Run the launcher from the extracted folder:

Windows:

connect-qdc-sdp-launcher.bat

Linux / macOS:

chmod +x connect-qdc-sdp-launcher.sh
./connect-qdc-sdp-launcher.sh

The launcher auto-discovers your running QDC session and completes the connection automatically. Keep the tunnel windows it opens running.

Open Snapdragon Profiler. The connection steps differ by device type.

The device is detected automatically through ADB.

Start profiling (Realtime only for now, more modes will be supported soon).

The device is connected through a Linux SSH Connection:

In Snapdragon Profiler, add a new Linux SSH Connection and enter the connection details.

After adding the connection details, close Snapdragon Profiler and re-open it.
On restart, the IoT device is detected automatically through SSH. Select the device, choose Realtime capture mode, and start profiling.
