The NavQPlus may be considered a generic embedded Linux Computer. When running Ubuntu POC, most linux packages may be installed using apt or apt-get. As with any Linux machine not all packages are suited to the specific hardware.

There is also specific emablement related to the i.MX 8M Plus SOC chip that is used. Please refer to NXP.com for more details. This includes things like hardware acclerated video using gstreamer and hardware accelerated neural net processing using eIQ on the NPU module.

Following the software guides there may be preferable, and provide more detail.
