=== Firmware update ===
This article explains how to '''update the pre-installed software''' of your IGEP Processor Board to a current release. This will update to the latest available version of the pre-installed software, which consists of IGEP X-Loader, IGEP Kernel and the Poky firmware.
This tutorial will follow the following steps:
# '''Download the latest firmware''' from ISEE in a Linux PC.# Run a script that will automatically setup and '''create a MicroSD card''' with the latest software in your host PC.# Then '''boot your IGEP Processor Board''' from that MicroSD card you have just created.# Finally, you can write the updated software from the MicroSD to the '''flash memory''' on your IGEP device.
{{Message/Information Message|message=If you want to run a '''different software distribution''', you can follow this article: [[How to boot from MicroSD Card]].}}
