It is highly recommended that you update your software image to a recent release to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes.
REMINDER TO UPDATE the PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE IMAGE to a CURRENT RELEASE
Adding peripherals
You can begin to add peripherals. We will begin with a serial communication, a monitor, a USB keyboard, a mouse, and a network cable.
Serial
Connect the AT/Everex Cable to the 10-pin serial header on the board and a null modem DB9 male-male serial cable between the board and your host machine, use the serial debug port to communicate with the host machine:
Monitor
Connect the DVI cable connector from the BASE0010 HDMI connector to the TFT DVI-D connector. The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video standard interface designed to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A).
Users will need a cable with male DVI-D connector for the TFT, and male HDMI connector from BASE0010 board.
Note that your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution
Audio IN/OUT
External Audio input devices, such as a powered microphone or the audio output of a PC or MP3 player, can be connected to the via a 3.5mm jack (Audio IN).
An external Audio output device, such as external stereo powered speakers, can be connected to the BASE0010 via a 3.5mm jack (Audio OUT).
Keyboard/Mouse
You will need a powered hub to connect to most USB, connect the USB hub to the USB host connector, then plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub.
Only USB 2.0 devices work, do not connect a USB mouse 1.0 into the USB host connector without using a USB hub 2.0, because it will not work.
Network
The board comes with one 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports, you may plug their Ethernet cable into that board.
Booting up
How to enable IGEP0020 support throught igep.ini configuration file
Now that you have connected the peripherals you can apply power to your IGEP0020 board.
You will see a few lights flash, the details will differ based on software version. As the linux kernel loads and initializes the hardware, the desktop will appear on the screen like following image and you will see a boot prompt in your serial connection.
