=== Where can I get more documentation (manuals,schematics,...)? ===
If you need more than these wiki pages, you can get manuals from the Official [http://www.iseebcn.com ISEE website] of all IGEP devices.<br>
You can get a free self-registered user account and go to user downloads section

== IGEPv1 Hardware related questions ==
All IGEPv1 boards are based on IGEPv1 Platform, which is based on ARM9 ARM processor. <br> They are developed for very cheap custom designs under project agreement.

<br>
== IGEPv2 Hardware related questions ==
=== Which revision is my IGEPv2 board?<br> ===
Check your board revision in the next list:<br>
*IGEPv2 (Revision A): Not for general public. Only few Premium customers have this board revision.
**'''IGEP0020-RC6''' assembly: boards are marked with "6" hand-made number on silkscreen box of IGEP0020-RC. These boards are shipped with DM3730, wireless, ADC and expansion connectors. ("MODEL: IGEP0020-RC6-DM3730-1GHz-xxxxx")
<br>
=== What does "IGEP2: Hardware Revision B/C (B compatible)" mean? ===
IGEPv2-RC has available an unpopulated super-cap/rechargable battery footprint (BT741) for real time clock backup batter.
<br>
=== How to connect Bluetooth chipset to OMAP ? ===
*Audio link use OMAP McBSP3 and TPS65950 audio codec + mixer<br>
<br>
=== How many UARTs are available? ===
UART3 --> on connector JA41 without DVI transceiver with CMOS 1v8 logic.
</pre>
Read this How to use [[Using_serial_debug_port_to_communicateUsing serial debug port to communicate|debug serial port]].
<br>
=== Is it available s-video or video composite output? ===
Linux kernel autodetects B or C assembly configuration. Check you [[Frequently Asked Questions and Their Answers#Which_revision_is_my_IGEPv2_board.3F|IGEPv2 board revision]] and [[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|IGEPv2-RCx PCB compatible IGEPv2-RB1]].<br>
<br>
=== Can I attach an LCD with LDVS interface? ===
You have to translate or convert it to LVDS which is a differential and serialized interface. For example you can use MAX9213 serializer LVDS to translate the parallel interface to LVDS.
<br>
=== Is there a way to attach a VGA monitor directly? ===
*a DVI to VGA converter connected to the IGEPv2 DVI output.
*an [[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_haveWhich IGEP board do I have#IGEP0022|IGEPv2 expansion board]], which expands IGEPv2 board capabilities. Among other things provides the VGA interface on D-SUB15 connector.<br>
<br>
=== Is it possible to connect a CMOS sensor (ie are the camera signals available on a board connector)? ===
The camera signals are not available on IGEPv2 board.<br>
<br>
=== Mini usb OTG must be a MINI A Male? ===
Review the Official [http://igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99&Itemid=129&dir=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fvhosts%2Figep.es%2Fhttpdocs%2Fdownloads%2F01-ISEE_Products%2FIGEPv2%2FHW_User_Manuals&download_file=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fvhosts%2Figep.es%2Fhttpdocs%2Fdownloads%2F01-ISEE_Products%2FIGEPv2%2FHW_User_Manuals%2FMAN-PR-IGEP.0020-001.23.HW_RC.pdf IGEPv2 Hardware Reference Manual]: Page7: USB 2.0 LS/FS/HS OTG 1 Mini AB USB socket connector (dual slave and host role) – That means you can use MINI-A and MINI-B cable.
<br>
=== Is the external wifi antenna easy to install? Where can I acquire a compatible external antenna? ===
A popular Hirose U.FL (MHF IPEX) connector to SMA-RP (reverse polarity) connector cable fits in
</pre><br>
=== Is it possible to add analog video output? ===
TP400 = TVOUT_2R sch signal = PIN 4 S-video connector= C = chroma
</pre>
<br>
=== Is it possible to power using USB OTG connector? ===
No, it is not possible on IGEPv2 boards.
<br>
=== What is the maximun power consumption? ===
IGEPv2@720MHz has aprox. 15% more power consumption on core and mpu_iva than at 600MHZ.
<br>
=== What about "Skip erase bad block 124 at 0xf80000" means at bootlog? ===
them (or JFFS2 file-system does automatically ).
<br>
=== Boot up sequence ===
#Root FS (Network or microSD or Flash or USB or RAMDISK ...)
<br>
== IGEPv2 Software related questions ==
All of them are available at the Official [http://git.igep.es GIT repositories]. You need registered user.
<br>
=== How do I stop U-Boot command line at "Hit any key to stop autoboot" prompt ? ===
U-Boot command line is a [[Using_serial_debug_port_to_communicateUsing serial debug port to communicate|Serial tty console]]. IGEPv2 normally uses the UART3 to communicate and prompt out.<br>
Follow this [[How_to_setup_the_IDC10_cableHow to setup the IDC10 cable|how to setup the IDC10 cable]] article to connect you Serial cable to your IGEPv2 board.<br>
Next, you need to send a key to this serial port using some [[Using_serial_debug_port_to_communicateUsing serial debug port to communicate|Serial terminal application]].<br>
<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_communicateUsing serial debug port to communicate|serial link]] to IGEPv2 via Serial cable.<br>
( minicom, putty or other Serial console running on your computer -> your computer DB9 connector -> Serial cable -> IGEPv2 board )
=== Which x-loader, u-boot and Linux kernel does IGEPv2 EXPANSION board use? ===
You can download software from the Official [http://git.igep.es/| GIT repositories] and then you can follow the IGEP0020 steps in [http://labs.igep.es/index.php/The_Linux_kernel| Howto the Linux kernel].<br>
<br>
*IGEP MODULE RevE: They were sold on 2011 (silkscreen: "'''IGEPv3 MODULE RE'''")<br>
<br>
=== Which differences are between IGEP MODULE board and IGEPv2 Board ===
[[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_haveWhich IGEP board do I have#IGEP0020|IGEPv2 Board]] is a start board for testing purposes that you can use for testing the possibilites of the IGEP Platform boards and for developing your own applications.<br>
You can also test this technology with the [[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_haveWhich 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 Platform possibilites you can use the [[Which_IGEP_board_do_I_haveWhich IGEP board do I have#IGEP0030|IGEP 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>
<br>
=== Is it possible to power using USB OTG connector? ===
Yes, it is possible to power standalone IGEP MODULE boards (without any baseboard plugged).<br> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">'''<span style="font-style: italic;">NOTE</span>: DON'T POWER IGEP MODULE through USB OTG and ANY base board AT SAME TIME'''</span><<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" />><br>

<br>
=== What is the maximun power consumption? ===
T.B.D.<br>
<br>
=== Is the external wifi antenna is easy to install? Where can I acquire a compatible external antenna? ===
A popular Hirose U.FL (MHF IPEX) connector to SMA-RP (reverse polarity) connector cable fits in
</pre>
Check your revision case:<br>
*IGEP MODULE revision D boards do not have the internal antenna populated, but there connector for the external antenna is actually installed.<br>
*IGEP MODULE revision E boards have the internal antenna.<br>
You can get an external antenna at the [http://shop.iseebcn.com ISEE online shop].<br>
