Overview

If you have a brand new IGEP Processor Board you must know that it comes with a firmware provided and installed on it by ISEE.

By default, if you power up your board it will run the software on the flash. But you can prepare a MicroSD card and boot from it by inserting it to the MicroSD card reader of your IGEP Processor Board, as it has more priority than the flash.

The pre-installed software consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Yocto Platform Builder.

About the pre-installed software

The pre-installed software consists of:

  • IGEP X-loader: a bootloader compatible with all IGEP Processor Boards.
  • IGEP Kernel: a Linux Kernel maintained by ISEE.
  • IGEP firmware Yocto: the software distribution consists of a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Yocto tools
