== How to get the [[Image:Linaro distribution ==.jpg|left]][http://www.linaro.org Linaro™ brings together the ] is a Not For Profit (NFP) organization that aims to make embedded open source community development easier and faster. Linaro will create a common software foundation for software stacks and distributions to land on and provide the electronics industry best open source tools for developers to work develop on . The focus is on low level software around the Linux kernel that touches the silicon, key projects, deliver great pieces of middleware that enable new markets and toolsthat help the developer write and debug code. Linaro aims to maximize the potential of the latest features of ARM-based processors, reduce industry wide fragmentation and helping provide common foundations for Linux software distributions optimized performance in a lower power envelope. Linaro is both a community and stacks to land ona supported project with engineering teams spread globally.

== Overview of How-To ==This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn install a Linaro image for OMAP3-based IGEP platforms as quickly and easily as possible.

Unless otherwise noted, this This How-To works with the '''Ubuntu 10.10''' but most of the contents are valid also is meant to be a starting point for people to learn install a Linaro image for other GNU/Linux distributions. We do not issue any guarantee that this will work on other distributionsOMAP3-based IGEP platforms as quickly and easily as possible.<br>

Now it's time to get a hardware pack for the IGEP board== Install Linaro 12. (For now the hardware packs are only available on the Hudson instance running on jameswestby.net, but soon we should have them mirrored somewhere on linaro.org) wget http://jameswestby.net:8080/view/Hardware%20Packs/job/linaro-igep%20hwpack/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/hwpack_linaro-igep_20101021-23_armel.tar.gz04 nano distribution ==

Next plug in your SD card and ensure you know Download the device node for your sd card reader. We are assuming device node of /dev/mmcblk0, run linaro-media-create linaro-media-create --rootfs ext3 --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --dev igep --binary linaro-m-alip-tar-20101022-0.tar.gz --hwpack hwpack_linaro-igep_20101021-23_armel.tar.gzpackage tarball

Finally, plug the SD card in your board and boot wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/distros/linaro/linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.gz

where: &lt;mmc&gt; - is the SD-Card device of your computer.&lt;image file&gt; - is the file that contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image.&lt;machine&gt; - is the IGEP Processor Board. Available options are:  *igep0020 - For IGEP v2 Processor Board *igep0030 - For IGEP COM MODULE Processor Board *igep0032 - For IGEP COM PROTON Processor Board For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type  ./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0020 --image linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.bz2 For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdb' and you have an IGEP COM&nbsp;MODULE ('igep0030'), type  ./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdb --machine igep0030 --image linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.bz2 These methods should give you a bootable SD-card. Insert the bootable SD-card media into the micro-SD card socket of IGEP device and power on it. This should result in a running system with a Linaro nano image. == Install Other Linaro Distributions == Please follow the next [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_boot_from_MicroSD_Card howto].<br>  == Videos == IGEPv2 running Linaro Distribution.
