→Download the Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Distribution and tools
How to get the Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS <br> The Ubuntu project is excited to be working with the ARM ecosystem to port Ubuntu for ARM-based devices. This work fits with our goals of making Ubuntu available as an open platform to as many people as possible.
== Host Enviroment ==
We suggest use Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (32 bits) in your host, you can download it from our server using this [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/igepv5_ce/devel/iso/ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop-i386.iso link] or directly from Ubuntu (Canonical) website. You can install it in a Virtual Machine enviroment environment using any Virtualization software or directly in your PC.
=== Material<br> ===
*HDMI/DVI Monitor (optional)
== Download the Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Distribution and tools<br> ==The Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (armel) distribution can be [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/isee-releases/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-armel-armhf/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armel.tar.bz2 downloaded from here] or if you want to use the [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/isee-releases/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-armel-armhf/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armhf.tar.bz2 hard float version you can use this].
The Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS distribution can first boot must be done using the [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/distrosisee-releases/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0armel-20140606-armel.tar.bz2 downloaded from here] or if you want to use the hard float version you should use this other link.<br> The first boot must be done using the [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/distros/ubuntuarmhf/ubuntu-isee-igep00x0-first-boot-20140606.tar.bz2 first boot package], inside you've the bootloader, igep.ini and temporary kernel(its valid for armel and armhf).
You can download [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/igepv5_ce/scripts/prepare-disk.sh this script] for create the right partitions in the microsd card (Only is valid for microsd card, it cannot be used for prepare the raw Nand flash)
== Prepare the EnviromentEnvironment<br> ==
=== Check if you've the packages bc and dosfstools<br> ===
<pre>$ cd /media/boot
$ tar xvfj ubuntu-12.04.4-isee-igeo00x0igep00x0-first-boot.tar.bz2</pre> After incompress uncompress the content you should see inside the /media/boot these content:
<pre>$ zImage MLO igep.ini </pre>
The default configuration is set for boot IGEPv2 board if you wish boot the IGEP COM Module or IGEP COM Proton then you must edit the file igep.ini and set the variable:
Save the file
Now enter into the rootfs partiton partition (normally mounted on /media/rootfs) and uncompress the ubuntu 12.04.4 package on it as: <pre>$ sudo tar xvfj ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armel.tar.bz2 or if you use hard float:$ sudo tar xvfj ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armhf.tar.bz2 </pre>
After that sync and eject the microsd card.

== After first boot ==
When the system boot (for a first time) you will see this error related to the kernel modules: <br> modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.37/modules.dep: No such file or directory<br>modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.37/modules.dep: No such file or directory<br>This is normal due we didn't install the kernel yet ...
login using the serial console:
<pre>username: root
password: letmein
</pre>=== Verify the boot partition ===
$ dpkg -i <package name> linux-image-2.6.37_0009.isee_armel.deb
== What is included ...<br> = Configure the Ethernet ===
Is recommended update the database packages after install (you need the ethernet connection) execute the this command:
<pre>$ apt-get update</pre>
== FAQ ==
Is Video enabled in this package?
<pre>Yes it is, connect your display to the HDMI connector and you should see the terminal console. </pre>
Can I install any video splash package?
<pre>Yes, you can install your prefered plymouth splash theme ... </pre>
Is there any wifi tools installed?
<pre>Yes, the package iw is installed. After install the Ubuntu you can access to the wifi interface using iw commands like:
$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ iw wlan0 scan
</pre>
Can I use a keyboard and mouse ?
<pre>Yes but you need to use a USB 2.0 hub (normally the keyboard and mouses are 1.x) and IGEP Boards based on DM3730 processor only support devices USB 2.0
</pre>
Is possible install ubuntu into the NAND flash memory?
