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. By default, if you power up your board it will run the software on the flash. But '''you can prepare a MicroSD card 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.
The pre-installed software consists on a minimal '''Linux-based distribution''' with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder. If you want to '''update your pre-installed software''', you can create a MicroSD card in your host PC with the latest software. Then boot your IGEP Processor Board from that MicroSD card.
If you want to '''update your pre-installed software''', you can '''create a MicroSD card in your host PC''' with the latest software.
Then boot your IGEP Processor Board from that MicroSD card.
Finally, you can write the updated software from the MicroSD to the flash memory on your IGEP device.
