= Introduction =
The IGEP Firmware could be [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_get_the_Poky_Linux_distribution built from scratch ] 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 [[IGEP_Technology_devices | IGEP Technology device 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.

D-Bus interprocess communication The IGEP Firmware is based on RPM packages. The RPM Package Manager is a package management systemthat 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.
BlueZ Bluetooth stackYou 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:
Avahi service for Zeroconf service discovery.*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 helpzypper help command</pre>
