__NOTOC__
 
The purpose of this article is to create a page with explanations and links to all the main developing resources and the environment in the IGEP Wiki Labs.
(suggestion: developing tools, compilers, text editors, etc.)
 
*Visit the main page of your IGEP Technology device - '''visit the main page of your board [[Which IGEP board do I have|here]]''' - and read the '''getting started''' guides, the main pages at ISEE and at the IGEP Community, and many documentation such hardware manuals, schematics, etc.
 
=== Pre-installed software ===
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. Therefore, when you power up your board it boots the pre-installed software, which consists on a minimal '''Linux-based distribution''' with a X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder. There are also many other Linux [[:Category:Software distributions|software distributions]] that you can run with IGEP Technology devices, such Ubuntu, Android, Linaro, etcby ISEE.   === Boot order ===
By defaultTherefore, if when you power up your board '''it will run boots the pre-installed software ''', which consists on the flash. But all IGEP Processor Boards can [[Boot up sequence|boot from many peripherals]], such Serial Port, MicroSD Card, Flash, etca minimal '''Linux-based distribution''' with a X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
For example, you can create 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 (There are also '''many other Linux [[Boot up sequence:Category:Software distributions|Boot device prioritysoftware distributions]])''' that you can run with IGEP Technology devices, such Ubuntu, Android, Linaro, etc.

=== Boot order ===
 
By default, if you power up your board it will run the pre-installed software on the flash. But all IGEP Processor Boards can '''[[Boot up sequence|boot from many peripherals]]''', such Serial Port, MicroSD Card, Flash, etc.
 
For example, you can create and boot from a MicroSD card by inserting it to the card reader of your IGEP Processor Board, as it has more priority than the flash ([[Boot up sequence|Boot device priority]]).
=== Create a bootable MicroSD ===
You can download and '''[[How to boot from MicroSD Card|create a bootable MicroSD card]] ''' (with two different partitions: boot and rootfs) in your host PC with or you can directly '''[[Update the PRE-INSTALLED software image to a current release|update to the latest firmware release]]''' and use it with any of these [[:Category:Software distributions|software distributions]].
Once you have created the MicroSD card, you can boot your IGEP Processor Board from it and enjoy your new firmware version.
You can also '''[[Update the PRE-INSTALLED software image to a current release#How to flash the latest software image|flash this firmware to the IGEP Processor Board flash memory]]''', so the next time you boot the board you can do it '''without any MicroSD'''.  
=== Interacting with your board ===
==== Cross compiling ====
*You can generate executables for an embedded system or a diferent architecture from which the compiler is running | [[The Linux kernel#How to cross compile the linux kernel|Cross compile the Linux Kernel]] | [[How to setup a cross compiler]]  
==== SDK ====
*[[Ubuntu 8.04 IGEP v2.0 SDK Virtual Machine]]
==== Other developing resources ====
*[[Update the PRE-INSTALLED software image to a current release]]
==== Virtualization ==== *QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. You can [[How to develop using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)QEMU|add support for IGEP Processor Boards]].

=== Tutorials ===
 
List of basic tutorials, getting started guides, etc. in the [[:Category:Tutorials|tutorials]] category.
 
=== IGEP Glossary ===
*'''List of An IGEP Technology basic tutorials''', getting started guides, etc. in the [[:Category:TutorialsIGEP Technology Basic Glossary|tutorialsglossary]] categorywith many definitions and links to the related articles.
*'''IGEP Technology basic [[IGEP Technology Basic Glossary| glossary]]'''
*'''=== Software Applications === Examples of [[:Category:Software applications|software applications]]''' with examples within IGEP Technology devices.
A useful site is "[[Frequently Asked Questions and Their Answers|Frequently Asked Questions]]" page. Users can find common questions about their board and very quick answers about software and hardware issues.
 
 
==== Forum ====
In the [http://www.isee.biz/support/forum Free Support Forum] you can find a lot of knowledge. If you have any issue, you can read the forum threads. If you don't find anything about your issue, you can write a new post.
