<br />For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type
<pre>./igep-media-create --cp-uenv --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0034 --image igep0020 -yocto-image demopyro-imageminimal-satofirmware-igep00x0v1.0.tar.bz2</pre>
For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdb' and you have an IGEP COM MODULE ('igep0030'), type
<pre>./igep-media-create --cp-uenv --mmc /dev/sdb --machine igep0030 igep0034 --image demoigep0020-yocto-imagepyro-minimal-satofirmware-igep00x0v1.0.tar.bz2</pre>
These methods should give you a bootable SD-card.
 
 
 
=====Booting IGEP device and login/connect methods=====
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 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.
 
For example, you could flash the latest software image into internal FLASH memory ( [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_use_the_Yocto_Project_to_develop_Embedded_Linux How to flash the latest software image] )
 
====<span id="Extending_the_IGEP_Firmware_with_packages" class="mw-headline">Extending the IGEP Firmware with packages</span>====
''' Note that the repositories are only available for OMAP3 processors'''
 
The IGEP Firmware is based on RPM packages. The RPM Package
 
Manager is a package management system that automates the process of installing, upgrading and removing software packages. If you also need some software that is typically not found in the IGEP Firmware, you can search if this software it’s available in the ISEE repositories.
 
You can manage packages from the IGEP Firmware using "zypper". Zypper is the command line package manager installed on the IGEP Firmware for installing, removing, updating and querying software packages of local or remote repositories. Use following commands:
 
* To get the package list from the repository, use
 
<pre>zypper refresh</pre>
* To search a package
 
<pre>zypper search package_name</pre>
* To install a package from registered repositories, use
 
<pre>zypper install package_name</pre>
* To remove an installed package, use
 
<pre>zypper remove package_name</pre>
* A list of all new packages available can be obtained with the command
 
<pre>zypper list-updates -t package</pre>
* To update your system, just run the
 
<pre>zypper update</pre>
* Other useful zypper commands :
 
<pre>zypper help
zypper help command</pre>
==IGEP-Tools==
IGEP Tools are a set of binaries that should come with every firmware provided by ISEE. These tools will allow you to handle in a easy way the process of updating and creating new bootable media that will run on igep devices. A basic concept of each tools is described:
 
* igep-media-create:  Create a new bootable SD cards or HD images.
* igep-flash: Flash bootable images to the board's flash memory
* create-android-image: Create an Android image tarball from Android build
* e-functions: Required by other igep tools to function properly.
