= 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 with packages = ''' 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.
