IGEP COM MODULE for standalone operation (without expansion boards) can be supplied using a 5V DC through USB 2.0 OTG connector. Use an USB Hub with external power supply.








Log into IGEP COM MODULE via USB Ethernet Gadget interface

(from Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate)

  • In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should add:
iface usb0 inet dhcp
  • Plug an USB Type-A to USB Type-A mini cable between your host PC and the USB OTG from IGEP device. Use a powered USB Hub if you use IGEP COM MODULE or PROTON Board.
  • If you use IGEP SDK VM you need to attach the removable device RNDIS driver.
  • Type in a terminal:
sudo ifup usb0
  • Revise that:
jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ ifconfig
