=Overview== Connect to This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP COM MODULE via USB OTG connector ===----Tutorial Guide. In this first chapter, we will learn :
{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" align="center" width="100%" style="text-align: left;"* Boot the board and touring the default firmware.|-| bgcolor="#cccccc" |'''Overview'''|-| 1) '''Install a SSH client such PuTTy'''* Connect and log into.
Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2) '''Connect via USB Ethernet Gadget/RNDIS driver''', SSH: root@1923 that explains more advanced tasks.168.7.2|}
You can log into IGEP COM MODULE via many '''interfaces with network connectivity''', such wifi, usb-ethernet gadget.We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE IMAGE TO A RECENT RELEASE to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes. and many others (when connected to an Please see the article on [[IGEP_firmware_Yocto | IGEP Expansion Board)YOCTO Firmware]].
In this section of this tutorial we are going to '''connect via USB Ethernet gadget'''. This feature allows you to have an IP connection over USB.
IGEP COM MODULE uses this functionality to allow users to log via SSH.
You can use this feature to interact with the IGEP Processor operating system [host] by typing commands in a client machine (your PC, for example) to perform specific tasks in IGEP COM MODULE. You can communicate and open a debug session via many other interfaces such Serial port, Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etc. (if available in an IGEP Expansion Board, for example).
Therefore, you will be able to access IGEP COM MODULE from your client device (for example, a PC with Linux, Windows, etc.)
=Requirements=
In this tutorial we are going to use the following peripherals:
The pre-installed software in * IGEP COM MODULE configures the * USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable* Powered USB interface with a static IP: 192.168.7HUB 2.20''Note: You will be able to change it later''* PC
Now, pick the right section, depending on the Operating System you are using=Getting started=<div style="text-align:center;">{{#ev:youtube|mXwt-2E4USE|500}}</div>
==Power up== Linux Configuration ====The board can be powered though USB OTG connector. It's recomended use an external USB hub. Connect the USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable between the board and the USB hub.
You should have the usbnet module available for your Linux kernel. On most distributions, this is the case by default. If this is not the case for your distribution, you will need to enable USB networking support in the kernel. If you build your own kernel then you want 'CDC Ethernet support' in USB Network adaptors[[Image:IGEP_COM_MODULE_with_HUB. JPG|center|200px]]
*{{Message/Information Message|title=USB OTG power is not available on newer IGEP COM MODULE devices|message='''Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid LynxNOTE''': Newer IGEP COM MODULE devices (IGEP0030-RFxx version since 2016 year) don't allow power devices using USB OTG connector. You should be used an expansion board (as example [[IGEP_NEW_YORK|IGEP NEW YORK]])}}
In ==Booting==With the file /etc/network/interfacesboard powered, you should add 'll see a section which looks like this: few lights flash, after a few seconds may light up a fixed green led. The sequence will be different based on software version.
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.1

netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.7.255
gateway 192.168.7.1
Connect "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'll be able access to the board using ssh the USB Ethernet Gadget.
ssh -l root 192==Remote connection via USB Ethernet Gadget=={{Message/Information Message|title=|message=If you aren't using a Linux operating system, use [http://labs.168isee.7biz/index.2php/IGEP_SDK_Virtual_Machine IGEP SDK Virtual Machine] to connect to the board.}}
In your Host Machine, open a terminal session and connect to the board using the SSH protocol:
==== Windows configuration ==== $ ssh root@192.168.7.1
An empty password for root user should work to access to the shell prompt. If you're experiencing some problems connecting to the board try with following guide : [[Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate]]
*'''Windows 7''' Follow this tutorial: http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28788 *'''Windows XP''' 1. During the first seconds the module is recognized as OMAP3430. Avoid the installation of this device and wait until ''RNDIS/Ethernet gadget'' is detected by the operating system. 2. The following driver INF file from the Gumstix Project works under Windows XP. [http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/usbnet/linux.inf <span class="s1">http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/usbnet/linux.inf</span>] 3. In ''Control Panel/Network Connections'' and after driver installation set up the TCP/IP properties of the ''Local Network Connection'' (''Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget'') as follow:<br> <pre>IP address 192.168.7.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.7.1 </pre> '''''Thanks to Iñigo Lazkanotegi from Tecnalia (Donostia - San Sebastián) for this contribution.''''' Now you must run any serial console that allows SSH such PuTTy (Linux, Windows). You can download it from its official page at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Then, run the '''SSH client''' and start a SSH session to connect to the host (IGEP COM MODULE) from the client (your PC): [[Image:Putty ssh.png|center]] # Select the '''SSH''' at connection type.# Next insert the '''IP address of the target'''. In this case, the IGEP COM MODULE default IP (192.168.7.2).# Ensure that the port is set to '''22''', the default for SSH communications.# Finally, push the '''Open button''' to start the SSH session. If everything goes right, you will be able to access to an IGEP COM MODULE console from your PC via USB Ethernet gadget. === Connect to IGEP COM MODULE via Wifi ===---- {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" align="center" width="100%" style="text-align: left;"|-| bgcolor="#cccccc" |'''Overview'''|-|'''Connect via wireless connection''', ESSID: WLAN_IGEP, SSH: root@192.168.6.1|} By default, '''the pre-installed software in IGEP COM MODULE enables the wifi interface''' and creates an Ad-Hoc network, with '''WLAN_IGEP as ESSID''' and a '''static IP address: 192.168.6.1'''. If you have successfully followed the previous section of the tutorial, you might have used PuTTy to connect to IGEP COM MODULE via USB Ethernet Gadget. In this section we will '''connect to your board using wifi'''. Therefore, follow this instructions: 1. '''Connect to the WLAN_IGEP wireless network''' from IGEP COM MODULE with a wireless adapter 2. '''Set a static IP''' within the subnet to your wireless adapter (for example: 192.168.6.2) 3. '''Open a PuTTy session''' and select SSH, 192.168.6.1 as target IP address. 4. '''Log into IGEP COM MODULE''' with login: root and empty password (press return) You now have logged into IGEP COM MODULE via its wireless connection.
