using a tool from the Yocto Project called Poky. The Poky build system allows developers to create their own complete Linux Distribution for their embedded systems.
The firmware that runs on every [index.php/IGEP_Technology_devices IGEP Technology devices] is created in the hope to introduce you quickly to the IGEP Technology. The IGEP Firmware provides a preconfigured Linux system allowing communicating and experiencing easily with IGEP devices.
The image is built using the GNOME Mobile software stack, providing a well defined user experience. The user interface environment used is SATO, it is designed to work well with screens at very high DPI and restricted size. It is coded with focus on efficiency and speed so that it works smoothly on hand- held and other embedded hardware.

||This How-To was tested IGEP SDK Virtual Machine, but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions.
There is no guarantee that this will work on other ones.

Insert a SD-Card media and use the igep-media-create script to copy the firmware to SD-Card media.
<pre>./igep-media-create -–mmc <mmc> --image <image file> --machine <machine></pre>where:<br /><mmc> - is the SD-Card device of your computer.<br /><image file> - is the file that contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image.<br /><machine> - is the IGEP Processor Board. Available options are:
* igep0020 - For IGEP v2 Processor Board
<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.  
of IGEP device and power on it. This should result in a running system with Sato graphical desktop root filesystem built by Yocto.
If you want login in/connect to the system, you have several options:
* '''Serial debug link''', you should just plug serial cable to your computer
* '''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 
* '''Wifi''', connect to IGEP_xx network, a dynamic IP should be assigned in your host and you can sign into the target connecting to 192.168.6.1
* '''USB ethernet gadget''', 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 ''''root'''' for the user name and hit 'Enter' at the Password prompt: (''empty password'') and you should be in.
Then, you could play and fun with IGEP board.
