For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type<br>
<pre>./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0020 --image demo-image-sato-igep00x0.tar.bz2</pre>
This should give you a bootable SD-card.<br><br><br><br><br> Now, lets create the MicroSD card with the latest firmware. Before it, you have to know '''which 'device' is the MicroSD listed in the /dev/ directory''', a directory where the detected devices are listed by the Linux system.  To '''know the device name''', follow this instructions:  '''Insert your MicroSD card''' into the Linux host machine (the machine where you have downloaded the firmware).  In your Terminal session, run the following '''system command''':   dmesg 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.  Check the '''MicroSD name and path''', for example: /dev/sdb and remember it.  Now you can '''run the following script''' in the directory you have just extracted, and you will have to add some parameters. In your Terminal session, type:  <br>   ./poky-media-create --mmc [device] --binary poky-image-sato-igep00x0-[timestamp].tar.gz --machine [machine] where:  *'''[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 [timestamp] 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: **igep0020 , for IGEPv2 **igep0030 , for IGEP COM MODULE **igep0032 , for IGEP COM PROTON <br> 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.  <br>
