= 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. If you need to custom more your Linux OS, for example: editing, adding or removing packages, please read [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/How_to_get_the_Poky_Linux_distribution this article].

= Extending 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.
The You can manage packages from the IGEP Firmware is based on RPM packagesusing "zypper". The RPM Package Manager Zypper is a the command line package managementsystem that automates manager installed on the process of IGEP Firmware for installing, upgrading removing, updating and removing querying 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 of local or remote repositories.Use following commands:
You can manage packages *To get the package list from the IGEP Firmware using "repository, use<pre>zypper refresh</pre> *To search a package<pre>zypper". Zypper is 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 line<pre>zypper list-updates -t package manager installed on </pre> *To update your system, just run the IGEP Firmware for installing, removing, updating and querying software packages of local or remote repositories.<pre>zypper update</pre> *Other useful zypper commands :<pre>zypper helpzypper help command</pre>
