== Connect IGEP SMARC Expansion with IGEP SMARC Boards ==
 
The IGEP SMARC Expansion connects to the IGEP SMARC Boards through J200 connector. <br> <br>

== Booting ==
 
Before booting, mount J1202 jumper in boot0 position in order to boot from uSD or boot2 position in order to boot from module device (NAND/NOR).
Other boot possibilities can be selected (see SMARC EXPANSION manual)
 
"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.
The firmware in its microSD card consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X 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.

== Network ==
 
You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the board to get network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with dynamic IP address (via DHCP).
