fix client-host incoherences

In the preinstalled software, the serial port is configured as a '''Debug interface'''. That means that if you connect an external device to the serial port you will be able to see the '''Linux Kernel traces''', as the system boots.
You can use the debug interface to interact with the IGEP Processor operating system [host] by typing commands in a client machine (your PC, for example) to perform specific tasks. You can communicate and open a debug session via many interfaces such Serial port, Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etc. Furthermore, if you connect an external device to the serial port you will be able to see the '''Linux Kernel traces''', as the system boots. Therefore, you will be able to access IGEP0020 with a '''serial client console''' in from your host client device (for example, a PC with Linux, Windows, etc.)

To communicate with IGEP0020 via Serial port you have to '''connect your host client machine to the serial debug port''' in your IGEP0020(host).
Once you have set the cable, then you have to run a serial console, or any program that can interact with the serial port in your host machine, such Minicom, PuTTy (Linux, Windows), Terminal (Windows), etc.

| Plug an '''Ethernet cable''' between IGEP0020 and your host client machine (or any other network device with ethernet connectivity).

* '''Monitor''': Finally, if you connected the DVI-D signal (with HDMI connector) to a monitor, the desktop of the preinstalled software will appear on the screen and you will be able to use the mouse and the keyboard, if connected.
* '''USB devices''': You will be able to use your keyboard and mouse and 'play' with some features of this little distribution.
