= 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/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.
== 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, wich is the default resolution used by the firmware. If your monitor doesn't have an 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 :

for this one:
omapfb.mode=dvi:hd720-16@60
== Ethernet Network cable == ''' Basic ''' Plug an '''You may now plug the Ethernet cable''' between IGEPv2 and your client machine (or any other network device with ethernet connectivity). ''' Know more ''' IGEPv2 comes with one into the 10/100BASE-TX 100 Ethernet ports. In jack of the following chapters we will use ethernet board to get network access IGEPv2. == USB devices (keyboard and mouse) == ''' Basic ''' Connect an USB hub to The default firmware configures the USB type-A connector Ethernet device with static ip address (USB Host) in IGEPv2192. Then plug an USB keyboard and USB mouse to the USB hub168. ''' Know more ''' Only USB 25.0 devices will 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 '''==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.
Once you have connected Now, connect an USB hub to the peripherals '''you can apply power''' to USB Host and plug your IGEPv2 (5V DCC)keyboard and mouse into the hub.
==Booting==
With all the peripherals attached, plug in the wall adapter (5V DC) and power on your board. You will see a few lights flash, see how to red leds light up and after a few seconds may light up only a fixed green led. The sequence will be different based on software version.
''' Know more '''"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. Finally, you will see a screen desktop like the following screenshot.
'' Led's sequence: ''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.
When you power up your board, you will also see how two red LED's light up while You can use the system boots (mouse and the sequence will be different based on software version). After a few seconds, there is a fixed green led onkeyboard to dive into the desktop.

==Remote connection via Ethernet=={{Message/Information Message|title=|message=If you aren'' Boot priorityt using a Linux operating system, use [http: ''//labs.isee.biz/index.php/IGEP_SDK_Virtual_Machine IGEP SDK Virtual Machine] to connect to the board}}
IGEPv2 can boot from many other devices (listed by priority): In your Host Machine, open a terminal sessions set up an Ethernet alias for your network interface,
# from USB# from UART3# from a MMC/MicroSD card # from OneNAND memory $ sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.5.10
As we haven't set any other boot device rather than Connect to the oneNAND (board using the IGEPv2 flash memory) the system boots from it.SSH protocol
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 $ ssh root@192.168.5.1
== 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 An empty password for root user should work to test the demo applications.
