In this tutorial we are going to use the following peripherals:
* IGEP COM AQUILA with its 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 connectorsconnector (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 RJ-45 jack of the board to get network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with static IP address (192.168.5.1) and dynamic IP address (via DHCP protocol).
== Keyboard/Mouse ==
'''Under construction'''Connect an USB hub to the USB Host and plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub.
== Booting ==
IGEP AQUILA Expansion should unmount J101 jumper to boot from microSD card.
'''Under construction'''Before booting, unmount J101 jumper to boot from microSD card.
'''<Yocto non With all the peripherals attached, plug in the wall adapter (5V DC) and power on your board. You will see a few lights flash, see how to IGEP COM AQUILA red led light up and after a few seconds may light up a fixed green led too. The sequence will be different based on 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 firmware in its microSD card consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X splash image>'''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. {| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="200" border="1" align="center"|-| [[Image:Igep0033 login screen.JPG|600px]]|}
== Remote connection via Serial interface ==
=== Setting up connection ===
PuTTY is a multiplatform SSH Open the serial on your PC using your preferred serial communications program (minicom) and telnet client. You can download it fromconfigure the port as follows: [http://www.putty.org putty * 115200* 8N1* no flow control (either software or hardware) Open the serial port and the debug shell prompt should appear.org]
*Open PuTTy.*Choose Serial line. If you are running PuTTy A detailed guide on Windows, the USB Serial converter line will be like (COM1 or COM2 or COM3, etc.). If you are running PuTTy on Ubuntu, the USB Serial converter line will how to connect via serial debug port can be like (/dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB3, etc.).*Configure Speed found by following this link: [[Using serial debug port to 115200*Select Serial Connection type*Press on Open button communicate]]
You will successfully started the console.
