Getting started
== Remote connection via Ethernet ==
{{Message/Information Message|title=|message=If you aren't 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]}}
In your Host Machine, open a terminal sessions set up an Ethernet alias for your network interface,
an empty password for root user should work to access to the shell prompt.

== 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 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.
 
Now, plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub.
 
 
Remember to use the proper cable to connect the USB OTG port on the Overo expansion board to your hub. We recommended that you use a cable like the USB Mini-B to Mini-A Adapter. Though a common USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable will fit, it will not work. OTG ports require a cable that grounds the ID pin in order to enable the port to act in host mode.
 
''' 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 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.

''' Know more '''
 
All IGEP Processor Boards, including IGEPv2, have a pre-installed software in its flash memory which consists of a '''minimal Linux-based distribution''' with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with '''Poky Platform Builder'''.
 
== Log into IGEPv2 via Ethernet interface ==
{{Message/Information Message|title=|message=In non-Linux operating system, use [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/IGEP_SDK_Virtual_Machine IGEP SDK Virtual Machine] to connect to IGEP COM MODULE via USB or read article [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/Using_USB_ethernet_gadget_to_communicate "Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate"]}}
 
In your Host Machine:
 
Open a Terminal session and set the IP of the Ethernet interface in which IGEP is connected (for example eth0):
 
*In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should add:
<pre>iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.5.10
netmask 255.255.255.0</pre>
*Type in a terminal:
<pre>sudo ifup eth0:0</pre>
*Revise that:
<pre>jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ ifconfig
...
eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:ad:0c:ad
inet addr:192.168.5.10 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
...</pre>
*Connect to IGEP device
 
jdoe@ubuntu ~ $ ssh root@192.168.5.1
