Unless you've signed an NDA with Qualcomm for their real technical
documentation, there isn't a lot.  But here are some resources:

QMI is a Qualcomm-created protocol used to communicate between firmware
running on Qualcomm devices and a host machine, whether that host is
your laptop/desktop or even a mobile phone.  The links should explain
more.  Let us know if you have more questions!
