This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP COM PROTON Tutorial Guide.
This In this first chapter describes ''', we will learn how to boot IGEP COM PROTON''' connect and also gives some '''basic instructions''' about how to connect some peripheralslog into.
Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2/3 that explains more advanced tasks.
=== Setting up ===----We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE IMAGE TO A RECENT RELEASE to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes. Please see the article on [[IGEP_firmware_Yocto | IGEP YOCTO Firmware]]
In the first chapter of this tutorial we are going to use:
* an USB A type plug to mini B type plug* a computer with Windows or Linux installed on it__TOC__
Do NOT power up your board yet.
= Requirements =
{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" align="center" width="100%" style="text-alignIn this tutorial we are going to use the following peripherals: left;"|-| bgcolor="#cccccc" |'''Power up via USB OTG connector'''|-|'''Connect IGEP COM PROTON to a computer via USB OTG'''|-|}
The on-board '''HS USB OTG port''' is used as the default '''power input for * IGEP COM PROTON standalone''' operating mode* USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable* Powered USB HUB 2.0* A PC
First of all, connect IGEP COM PROTON to your machine via the on-board USB OTG port with '''a USB cable''' (USB A type plug to mini B type plug).= Getting started =
Connect IGEP COM PROTON to your machine. It will power == Power up.==
The board can be powered though USB OTG connector. It's recommended use an external USB hub. Connect the USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable between the board and the USB hub.

You can log into IGEP COM PROTON via many '''interfaces with network connectivity''', such usb-ethernet gadget.. and many others (when connected to an IGEP Expansion Board).
In this section of this tutorial we are going "Under the hood" the bootloader is preparing to '''connect via USB Ethernet gadget'''load the linux kernel. The linux kernel loads and initializes the hardware and mounts the root file system. This feature allows Finally, you 'll be able access to have an IP connection over the board using the USBEthernet Gadget.
IGEP COM PROTON uses this functionality to allow users to log == Remote connection via SSH.USB Ethernet Gadget ==
You can use this feature to interact with the IGEP Processor {{Message/Information Message|title=|message=If you aren't using a Linux operating system , use [host] by typing commands in a client machine (your PC, for example) to perform specific tasks in IGEP COM PROTONhttp://labs.isee. You can communicate and open a debug session via many other interfaces such Serial port, Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etcbiz/index. (if available in an php/IGEP_SDK_Virtual_Machine IGEP Expansion Board, for example).SDK Virtual Machine] to connect to the board}}
Therefore, you will be able to access IGEP COM PROTON from In your client device (for exampleHost Machine, open a PC with Linux, Windowsterminal session and connect to the boad using the SSH protocol, etc.)
$ ssh root@192.168.7.1
The pre-installed software in IGEP0030 configures An empty password for root user should work to access to the USB interface with a static IP: 192shell prompt.168.7.2''Note: You will be able to change it later''
Now, pick If you're experiencing some problems connecting to the right section, depending on the Operating System you are usingboard try with following guide :[[Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate]]
 ==== Linux Configuration ==== 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.  *'''Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx''' In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should add a section which looks like this:   auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.7.1 network 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.7.255 gateway 192.168.7.1 Connect to the board using ssh   ssh -l root 192.168.7.2  ==== Windows configuration ====  *'''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 PROTON) 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 IGEP0030 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 IGEP COM PROTON console from your PC via USB Ethernet gadget. {{Navigation/IGEP Technology Devices Guides/Next Step|Name={{#lst:Template:Links|IGEP_COM_PROTON_Name}}|Community_MainPage={{#lst:Template:Links|IGEP_COM_PROTON_Community_MainPage}}Getting Started/Ending
