At this moment (2010-December)Check your board revision in the next list: <br>

*IGEPv2 (Revision A): only Not for general public. Only few premium costumers have these version boards. You don't Premium customers have themthis board revision.

*IGEPv2 (Revision B): they have silkscreen The reference "'''IGEP0020-RB1'''" is written on board and the silkscreen of these boards. These boards are made from the year 2009 to 2010. They are not available anymore(see [[Frequently Asked Questions and Their Answers#Which_revision_is_my_IGEPv2_board.3F|IGEP0020-RC3]]below)

**'''IGEP0020-RC3''' assembly: boards are marked with "3" hand-made number on silkscreen box of IGEP0020-RC. These boards are shipped with OMAP3530 and wireless with [[Frequently Asked Questions and Their Answers#Is_it_possible_to_config_the_wireless_LAN_and_bluetooth_so_they_are_completely_off.2C_and_not_consuming_any_power_at_all.3F|IGEP0020-RB1 backward compatibility]].

User You can use i2c external rtc or connect externally a super-cap/rechargable battery on R768 pins.

IGEPv2-RC has available an unpopulated a super-cap/rechargable battery footprint (BT741) for real time clock backup battery batter.  <br>

Read HOWTO this How to use [[Serial Debug ConsoleUsing_serial_debug_port_to_communicate|debug serial port]].  <br>

*IGEP0020-RC1/IGEP0020-RC4 models: You could use McBSP1 pins (12,14,16,18,20,22,24), I2C2 pins (23,24) on J990. It You could use software configuration to disable wifi interface and others because of shared wifi hardware lines.

Yes, you could use powerdown and reset pins. :

We change The GPIO_94/GPIO_95 of IGEP0020-RB1 version is changed to GPIO_138/GPIO_139 of IGEP0020-RCx version because GPIO_94/GPIO_95 are camera interface lines.<br>  Linux kernel autodetects B or C assembly configuration.

=== Could You have to translate or convert it to LVDS which is a differential and serialized interface. For example you attach an LCD with LDVS can use MAX9213 serializer LVDS to translate the parallel interface? ===to LVDS.

IGEPv2 doesn't have does not has VGA output. But it could be you can use:<br>  *a DVI to VGA converter connected to the IGEPv2 DVI output. *an [[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_have#IGEP0022|IGEPv2 expansion board]], which expands IGEPv2 board capabilities. Among other things provides the VGA&nbsp;:interface on D-SUB15 connector.<br>

*DVI to VGA converter connected to DVI output. *IGEPv2 EXPANSION expands IGEPv2 capabilities. Among other things provides the VGA&nbsp;interface on D-SUB15 connector.<br>

The camera signals are not available on IGEP v2 IGEPv2 board. <br> <br>

=== I would like too to know if Is the external wifi antena is antenna easy to install? Where can I acquire a compatible external antenna? ===

&lt;br&gt;</pre> <br> 

Yes , it is possible. There is no connector for S-video, but signals are available on board test points.

No, it is not possible on IGEPv2 boards .  <br>

IGEP v2 IGEPv2@720MHz has aprox. 15% more power consumption on core and mpu_iva than at 600MHZ.  <br>

=== Are the sources for the xloader, uBoot and kernel supplied with the IGEPv2 board available? Software related questions ===

All of them are === Are the sources for the xloader, uBoot and kernel supplied with IGEPv2 board available on [http://git.igep.es git.igep.es] if you are a registered user. ? ===

=== How do I stop U-Boot command line All of them are available at "Hit any key to stop autoboot" prompt&nbsp;? ===the Official [http://git.igep.es GIT repositories]. You need registered user.

'''Look up! ''' Don't press === How do I stop U-Boot command line at "Hit any key of any usb keyboard connected to IGEPv2, you need press any key of your computer keyboard attached to [[Serial Debug Console|serial link]] to IGEPv2 ( serial cable + minicom or other serial terminal application ) stop autoboot" prompt&nbsp;? ===

<br> U-Boot command line is a [[Using_serial_debug_port_to_communicate|Serial tty console]]. IGEPv2 normally uses the UART3 to communicate and prompt out.<br>

Next, you need to send a key to this serial port using some [[Using_serial_debug_port_to_communicate|Serial terminal application]].<br>

Note:Do not press any key of any usb keyboard connected to IGEPv2, as you need to press a key of your computer keyboard in the Serial console, which is attached to [[Using_serial_debug_port_to_communicate|serial link]] to IGEPv2 via Serial cable.<br>

( minicom, putty or other Serial console running on your computer -&gt; your computer DB9 connector -&gt; Serial cable --&gt; IGEPv2 board )

<br>  == IGEPv2 EXPANSION MODULE BASEBOARD software Board Software related questions ==

=== Which x-loader, u-boot and Linux kernel does IGEPv2&nbsp; EXPANSION board use&nbsp;? ===

You could can download software from the Official [http://git.igep.es/| IGEP GIT software repositories] and then you could can follow IGEP0030 the IGEP0020 steps in [http://labs.igep.es/index.php/The_Linux_kernel| Howto the Linux kernel]. You need free self-registered igep.es user account. <br>

*IGEP MODULE RevD: They were sold on 2010-4Q (silkscreen: "'''IGEPv3 MODULE RD'''") *IGEP MODULE RevE: They were sold on 2011 (silkscreen: "'''IGEPv3 MODULE RE'''")<br>

You can also test this technology with the [[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_have#IGEP0022|IGEPv2 EXPANSION Board]], which you can instantly attach to the IGEPv2 Board and test even more features and interficies.<br>

Once you have tested and checked all the IGEP&nbsp;Platform possibilites you can use the [[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_have#IGEP0030|IGEP&nbsp;MODULE]], which consists on a single mini-board with all the IGEPv2 Board capabilities but with just a few of them implemented. That means you can create your own expansion board with any peripheral you want and attach it to your product, or you can contact with the [http://www.iseebcn.com/ ISEE team] (Integration Software Electronic Engineering) where you can ask for a customized board design with your own specifications.<br>

=== I would like too to know if Is the external wifi antena antenna is easy to install? Where can I acquire a compatible external antenna? ===

Default configuration will use the internal shared wifi/BT omni-antenna.<br>

But, on IGEP-MODULE boards could be you can hardware-hacked hack the board and disconnect the internal antena antenna to populate U.FL connector for pigtail and external antena:<br>

Check your revision case:<br>
