# Prerequisites

The NavQPlus is an embedded Linux device. You will need terminal access via a PC or Laptop in order to interface with the board. \

While a Windows PC can have terminal programs, you will find that working in a Linux host environment will allow you greater flexibility, capability and being able to cross compile software more easily. Most examples will be shown assuming a linux host PC running Ubuntu 22.04 or later is attached.
