Getting started with IGEP MODULE

The on-board HS USB OTG port is used as the default power input for IGEP MODULE standalone operating mode.
Once the board is powered up and running, we will get Ethernet connectivity over the same USB cable (USB Ethernet Gadget/RNDIS driver) or via wireless
By default, the IGEP MODULE usb interface will have the IP address 192.168.7.2, and the wireless interface comes with WLAN_IGEP as ESSID and 192.168.6.1 as IP address.

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
Connect to the board using ssh
ssh -l root 192.168.7.2
The authenticity of host '192.168.7.2 (192.168.7.2)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 9d:0e:ba:02:2a:76:e4:5f:d1:c1:9b:2d:85:6c:83:d4.

== Updating and flashing the firmware ==
'''Latest is: Poky 3.3.1-4 (timestamp version - 201011231641)'''
Updating the firmware is done using a SD card, first we will create a minimal SD card and copy latest firmware image into the SD card  mkdir workdir && amp; cd workdir
wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/green-3.3/v3.3.1-4/poky-media-create
wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/green-3.3/v3.3.1-4/poky-media-minimal-igep0030-sdcard-3.3.1-4.tar.gz
chmod +x poky-media-create
Next, insert your SD card into the host machine and ensure you know the device node for your sd card reader. In the following example we assume /dev/mmcblk0. If you are unsure of the device node of your SD card, remove and reinsert the card and type dmesg on the command line. The last few lines should give you the device node of the card you just inserted.
./poky-media-create --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --binary poky-media-minimal-igep0030-sdcard-3.3.1-4.tar.gz
Now it's time to download needed packages and copy into SD card
wget http://downloads.igep.es/poky/green-3.3/v3.3.1-4/poky-media-minimal-igep0030-flash-3.3.1-4.tar.gz
mkdir disk && amp; sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 disk
sudo tar xzf poky-media-minimal-igep0030-flash-3.3.1-4.tar.gz -C disk/home/root/
sudo umount disk && amp; rmdir disk Connect to device
Connect to device
ssh -l root 192.168.7.2
Next, enter into firmware directory 
cd poky-media-minimal-igep0030-flash-3.3.1-4
By default the flash.sh script test fulls OneNAND, it takes a long time and it's not really necessary, we should speed up the flash process editing the flash.sh script and commenting next lines 
# Test and mark OneNAND bad blocks
# for i in 0 1 2 3 4; do nandtest -m /dev/mtd${i}; done
Now you can run the flash script 
./flash.sh
== Troubleshooting ==
=== WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! ===
In the case of the SSH client in Linux, a changed host key results in the client refusing to connect and showing an remote host identification has changed error
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
RSA host key for 192.168.7.2 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
To fix the problem edit your ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line corresponding to this host.   [[Category:Hardware]] [[Category:How_to_forge]]
