Overview

We 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

Mounting IGEP0030 COM

The IGEP0030 COM connects to BASE0010 expansion board via the two 70-pin connectors located on the bottom side of the COM. Place the BASE0010 board on a flat, static-safe surface, align the COM with the white outline on the board above the connectors and gently press on the COM until it clicks into place.

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

The board uses a serial debug port to communicate with the host machine. Connect a null-modem DB9 serial cable.

Monitor

The board will connect to your monitor via its HDMI/DVI_D cable connector. Your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution

Keyboard/Mouse

The USB host (USB High speed 480Mbit/s ONLY). You will need a powered hub to connect to most USB, then plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub

Network

The board comes with two 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports, you may plug their Ethernet cable into that board.

Booting up

Now that you have connected the IGEP0030 COM to the BASE0010 expansion board and your peripherals are connected you can apply power to your BASE0010 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 and you will see a boot prom in your serial connection.
