Easier said than done. As of few years ago, Qualcomm wouldn'y really talk to you unless you can guarantee at least 100k unit purchase- which gets quite expensive fast at ~30-40$/pc for a mid range SoC. At the point where we got access to documentation and very basic support, around $1M USD was paid (part of which was covering the initial shipments of chips though).
