NextOnce the file is downloaded you can create bootable SD-Card, under Linux, we will untar the IGEP <pre>tar jxf igep_firmware-yocto-*.tar.bz2cd igep_firmware-yocto-*</pre> Insert a SD-Card media and use the application 'tar' igep-media-create script to copy the firmware to untar (uncompress) SD-Card media. <pre>./igep-media-create -–mmc &lt;mmc&gt; --image &lt;image file&gt; --machine <machine></pre> where:<br>&lt;mmc&gt; - is the SD-Card device of your computer.<br>&lt;image file&gt; - is the downloaded filethat contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image.<br>&lt;machine&gt; - is the IGEP Processor Board.Available options are:
Open a Terminal session and go to the folder where you have your downloaded file. Then type:*igep0020 - For IGEP v2 Processor Board *igep0030 - For IGEP COM MODULE Processor Board *igep0032 - For IGEP COM PROTON Processor Board*igep0033 - For IGEP COM AQUILA Processor Board*igep0046 - For IGEP iMX6 Processor Board
tar xzf poky-firmware-3.3.1-11.tar.gz
NextFor example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you can enter have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type<br> <pre>./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0020 --image demo-image-sato-igep00x0.tar.bz2</pre> For example, assuming the extracted directory:SD-card device takes '/dev/sdb' and you have an IGEP COM&nbsp;MODULE ('igep0030'), type<br> <pre>./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdb --machine igep0030 --image demo-image-sato-igep00x0.tar.bz2</pre> These methods should give you a bootable SD-card. <br>
cd poky-firmware-3.3.1-1/<br>
'''Booting IGEP device and login/connect methods'''
'''Create Insert the bootable SD-card media into the micro-SD card socket of IGEP device and power on it. This should result in a MicroSD Card'''running system with Sato graphical desktop root filesystem built by Yocto.
Now, lets create the MicroSD card with the latest firmware. Before it, If you have to know '''which 'device' is the MicroSD listed want login in the /dev/ directory''', a directory where connect to the detected devices are listed by the Linux system., you have several options: <br>
To *'''know Serial debug link''', you should just plug serial cable to your computer<br> *'''Ethernet''', you should assign an IP in the range 192.168.5.[2-254] and connect to target using a SSH client and connecting to 192.168.5.1&nbsp;<br> *'''Wifi''', connect to IGEP_xx network, a dynamic IP should be assigned in your host and you can sign into the device nametarget connecting to 192.168.6.1 <br> *'''USB ethernet gadget''', follow this instructions:connect a IGEP device to USB port of your computer, dynamic IP should be assigned in your host and you can sign into the target connecting to 192.168.7.1 o (if available) Graphical interface on plugged DVI/TFT display and USB Keyboard in IGEP device
The root password is empty, so to log in type '''Insert your MicroSD card'root'' into '' for the Linux host machine user name and hit 'Enter' at the Password prompt: (the machine where ''empty password'') and you have downloaded the firmware)should be in.<br>
In your Terminal sessionThen, run the following '''system command''':you could play and fun with IGEP&nbsp;board.
dmesgFor example, you could flash the latest software image into internal FLASH memory ( [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_flash_the_latest_software_image How to flash the latest software image] )
This instruction will prompt all the '''system traces'''. If your MicroSD card has actually been detected by the system, '''the last lines of that prompt''' will correspond to the MicroSD card detection and mounting.<br>
Check the '''MicroSD name and path''', for example: /dev/sdb and remember it.<br>
Now you can '''run the following script''' in the folder you have just extracted, and you will have to add some parameters. In your Terminal session, type:{{Message/Forum}}
  ./poky-media-create --mmc [device[Category:Software]] --binary poky-image-sato-igep00x0-[timestamp[Category:Boot_loaders]].tar.gz --machine [machine[Category:Software_distributionswhere:* '''[device]''' is the SD card device name, for example: /dev/sdb* '''[timestamp]''' the parameter --binary is actually the name of another .tar.gz compressed file that you have already extracted in the previous steps. If you want to auto-complete the [timestampCategory:Linux_Kernel] parameter, press TAB in the ''timestamp'' when writing the instruction and the system will write the name of the file automatically.* '''[machine]''' is the machine name, options are:<section begin=IGEPv2 />** igep0020 , for IGEPv2<section end=IGEPv2 /><section begin=IGEP_COM_MODULE />** igep0030 , for IGEP COM MODULE<section end=IGEP_COM_MODULE /><section begin=IGEP_COM_PROTON />** igep0032 , for IGEP COM PROTON<section end=IGEP_COM_PROTON />  This instruction will last a few minutes. When the process ends, you will have a '''MicroSD card with the latest software''' on it. Finally plug the MicroSD card into IGEP Processor Board and power up your board. <section end=IGEPv2 /><section end=IGEP_COM_MODULE /><section end=IGEP_COM_PROTON />
