In this tutorial we are going to use the following peripherals:
* IGEP COM AQUILAwith an uSD card
* IGEP AQUILA EXPANSION with its power supply
* FTDI cable* Monitor compatible with HDMIwith audio.
* HDMI cable
* Powered USB HUB 2.0
= Getting started =
== Create IGEP Firmware bootable SD-card ==
 
IGEP COM AQUILA internal memory is not flashed by default, you will need a bootable SD-card to bootup your board.
 
If you don't have a bootable SD-card, download [https://www.isee.biz/support/downloads/item/igep-firmware-yocto-1-4-2-0-am335x the IGEP Firmare Yocto for AM335x] and follow the README file.
 
== Connect IGEP AQUILA Expansion with IGEP COM AQUILA Board ==
 
The IGEP AQUILA Expansion connects to the IGEP COM AQUILA Board through K1 connector and J800 connector (optionally). <br> <br>

== Monitor ==
The board will connect to your HDMI monitor. You can use a HDMI cable to connect the board to the monitor. Your monitor should be able to support 720p1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution used by the firmware.
== Network ==
You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the board to get network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with static ip IP address (192.168.5.1) and dynamic IP address (via DHCP).
== Keyboard/Mouse ==
The Connect an USB hub to the USB Host of and plug your keyboard and mouse into the board is ONLY USB High speed (480Mbit/s). You will need a powered USB hub 2.0 to connect to most USB devices.
Now, connect an USB hub to the USB Host and plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub.== Booting ==
== Booting ==Before booting, unmount J101 jumper to boot from microSD card.
With all the peripherals attached, plug in the wall adapter (5V DC) and power on your board. You willsee will see a few lights flash, see how tow to IGEP COM AQUILA red leds led light up and after a few seconds may light up only a fixed green ledtoo. The sequence will be different based on softwre software version.
"Under the hood" the bootloader is preparing to load the linux kernel. The linux kernel loads and initializes the hardware and mounts the root file system. Finally, you will see a screen desktop like the following screenshot.
The pre-installed firmware in its flash memory microSD card consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
You can use the mouse and the keyboard to dive into the desktop.

== Remote connection via Ethernet =Overview === Serial header (J803) lets you debug system with an USB to 3V3 TTL level serial like TTL-232R-3V3 converter from [http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm FTDI] or compatible reference. The TTL-232R-3V3 converter has 6 pins and IGEP AQUILA EXPANSION add a 7th way (3v3 power). The next image shows how to connect it:<br><br>{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="150" border="1" align="center"|-| [[Image:SERIAL CABLE BASE0033.JPG|600px|Block diagram from IGEP0033]]<br> |}<br>
{{Message/Information Message|title=|message=If you aren't using a Linux operating system, use [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/IGEP_SDK_Virtual_Machine IGEP SDK Virtual Machine] to connect to the board}}= Setting up connection ===
In Open the serial on your Host Machine, open a terminal sessions set up an Ethernet alias for PC using your network interface,preferred serial communications program (minicom) and configure the port as follows:
$ sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.5.10* 115200* 8N1* no flow control (either software or hardware)
Connect to Open the board using serial port and the SSH protocoldebug shell prompt should appear.
$ ssh root@192.168.5.1A detailed guide on how to connect via serial debug port can be found by following this link: [[Using serial debug port to communicate]]
An empty password for root user should work to access to You will successfully started the shell promptconsole.
