= Overview = This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEPv2 Tutorial Guide. In this first chapter, we will learn : * Connect some preripherals, including monitor and USB peripherals.* Boot the board and touring the default firmware.* Connect remotely to the board via ethernet. Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2/3 that explains more advanced tasks. = Requirements =
In this tutorial we are going to use the following peripherals:
* IGEPv2 with its power supply
* Monitor compatible with DVI-D
* HDMI to /DVI-D cable.* Network cable.* Powered USB HUB 2.0.
* USB keyboard and a mouse
* PC
= Getting started =The following video illustrates the getting started process. You will see how to connect some peripherals and power up the board.

==Monitor==
The board will connect to your DVI monitor via its HDMI connector. You can use a HDMI/DVI-D cable to connect the board to the monitor. Your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution used by the firmware.
If your monitor doesn't have a DVI-D input, you can also use a HDMI input using a HDMI/HDMI cable, in that case you should [[How_do_I_edit_my_kernel_command_line | edit the kernel cmdline parameters]] and replace :
omapfb.mode== DVI monitor ==dvi:1280x720MR-16@60
''' Basic '''for this one :
IGEPv2 has a '''HDMI connector''' with a '''DVI omapfb.mode=dvi:hd720-D interface'''16@60
Connect IGEPv2 ==Network==You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the board to a DVI-D compatible monitorget network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with static ip address (192.168.5.1).
==Keyboard/Mouse==
The USB Host of the board is ONLY USB High speed (480Mbit/s). You will need a powered USB hub 2.0 to connect to most USB devices.
''' Know more '''Now, connect an USB hub to the USB Host and plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub.
The Digital Visual Interface ==Booting==With all the peripherals attached, plug in the wall adapter (DVI5V DC) is and power on your board. You will see a video standard interface designed few lights flash, see how to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays red leds light up and digital projectorsafter a few seconds may light up only a fixed green led. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A)The sequence will be different based on software version.
Note that your monitor should be able "Under the hood" the bootloader is preparing to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hzload the linux kernel. The linux kernel loads and initializes the hardware and mounts the root file system. Finally, which is the default resolution in you will see a screen desktop like the preinstalled softwarefollowing screenshot.
The pre-installed firmware in its flash memory consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.

In your Host Machine, open a terminal sessions set up an Ethernet alias for your network interface,
''' Know more ''' $ sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.5.10
IGEPv2 comes with one 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports. Connect to the board using the SSH protocol
In the following chapters we will use ethernet to access IGEPv2 $ ssh root@192.168.5.1
== USB devices (keyboard and mouse) == ''' Basic ''' Connect an USB hub to the USB type-A connector (USB Host) in IGEPv2. Then plug an USB keyboard and USB mouse to the USB hub. ''' Know more ''' Only USB 2.0 devices will An empty password for root user should work in IGEPv2, so if you connect any USB mouse 1.0 into the USB host connector without using an USB hub 2.0, it will not work. == Power up IGEPv2 (5V DC) == ''' Basic ''' Once you have connected the peripherals '''you can apply power''' to your IGEPv2 (5V DCC). ''' Know more ''' '' Led's sequence: '' When you power up your board, you will also see how two red LED's light up while the system boots (the sequence will be different based on software version). After a few seconds, there is a fixed green led on. '' Boot priority: '' IGEPv2 can boot from many other devices (listed by priority): # from USB# from UART3# from a MMC/MicroSD card # from OneNAND memory As we haven't set any other boot device rather than the oneNAND (the IGEPv2 flash memory) the system boots from it. But, for example, if as '''the MicroSD card has an upper priority than the flash''', if you plug a MicroSD card into IGEPv2 (with the right configuration on it), it will boot from the MicroSD card. == Test the Demo software distribution == ''' Basic ''' When IGEPv2 powers up, the desktop of the preinstalled software will appear on the screen. You can use the mouse and the keyboard to test the demo applications.
