→Prepare a SD to boot
<span class="mw-headline">In order to start developing with an IGEP PROCESSOR BOARD we can use a microSD Card to flash our system and boot from it. Most of the cases is the easiest way to boot a board.<br /></span>
<span class="mw-headline">The following steps details how to prepare a booteable MicroSD Card</span>

We can use the following command to do that:</div> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 count=1024<div style="text-align: left;">Where '''sfdiskX'''is the character returned previously by your system, for example, in the previous situation:</div> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde bs=1024 count=1024<div style="text-align: left;">Now we are ready to create the corresponding partitions in our MicroSD Card.

In this post we are using the GParted tool that can be installed as:</div> sudo apt-get install gparted<span class="mw-headline">Other tools as sfdisk and mkfs are useful too.</span> <span class="mw-headline">It is faster important to do sodifference between a MicroSD Card for a NXP processor and the other cases.

<span style="color: #ff0000;">In order to prepare a micro SD with your already generated u-boot you need to flash the u-boot.imx using the command dd. (?)<br /></span>
It is important to prepare your micro SD card first creating a partition that leave some free space for the u-boot.imx. It can be used GPARTED as it is shown in the image.
<span style="color: #000000;">When the install procedure ends you can call the program from your system tools menu or directly using a terminal console.</span>

Now we are going to see some steps with the two methods.
