= Overview =
This first is the 1/3 chapter describes '''how to boot of IGEP COM MODULE''' and also gives some '''basic instructions''' about how to connect some peripheralsTutorial Guide.
In this first chapter, we will learn '''how to connect IGEP COM MODULE''' and '''how to log into IGEP COM MODULE via USB or WIFI'''.
=Requirements == Setting up ===----
In the first chapter of this tutorial we are going to usethe following peripherals:
* an IGEP COM MODULE* An USB A type plug to Cable mini -B type plug* a computer USB Hub with Windows or Linux installed on itexternal power supply* A PC
Do NOT power = Getting started === Power up your board yet.IGEP COM MODULE ==
[[Image:IGEP_COM_MODULE_with_HUB.JPG|right|200px]]IGEP COM MODULE for standalone operation (without expansion boards) can be supplied using a 5V DC through USB 2.0 OTG connector. Use an USB Hub with external power supply.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Connect {{Table/IGEP COM MODULE to your machine. It will power up. Technology Devices|Tech_Family=== Connect to IGEP COM MODULE via USB OTG connector ===---- {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" align="center" width="100%" style="text-align{#lst: left;"|-| bgcolor="#cccccc" |'''Overview'''|-| 1) '''Install a SSH client such PuTTy''' 2) '''Connect via USB Ethernet Gadget/RNDIS driver''', SSHTemplate: root@192.168.7.2Links|IGEP_COM_MODULE_Tech_Family}} You can log into IGEP COM MODULE via many '''interfaces with network connectivity''', such wifi, usb-ethernet gadget.. and many others (when connected to an IGEP Expansion Board). In this section of this tutorial we are going to '''connect via USB Ethernet gadget'''. This feature allows you to have an IP connection over USB. IGEP COM MODULE uses this functionality to allow users to log via SSH. You can use this feature to interact with the IGEP Processor operating system [host] by typing commands in a client machine (your PC, for example) to perform specific tasks in IGEP COM MODULE. You can communicate and open a debug session via many other interfaces such Serial port, Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etc. (if available in an IGEP Expansion Board, for example). Therefore, you will be able to access IGEP COM MODULE from your client device (for example, a PC with Linux, Windows, etc.) The pre-installed software in IGEP COM MODULE configures the USB interface with a static IP: 192.168.7.2''Note: You will be able to change it later'' Now, pick the right section, depending on the Operating System you are using: ==== Linux Configuration ==== You should have the usbnet module available for your Linux kernel. On most distributions, this is the case by default. If this is not the case for your distribution, you will need to enable USB networking support in the kernel. If you build your own kernel then you want 'CDC Ethernet support' in USB Network adaptors. *'''Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx''' In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should add a section which looks like this: auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.7.1 network 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.7.255 gateway 192.168.7.1 Connect to the board using ssh ssh -l root 192.168.7.2 ==== Windows configuration ==== *'''Windows 7''' Follow this tutorial: http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28788 *'''Windows XP''' 1. During the first seconds the module is recognized as OMAP3430. Avoid the installation of this device and wait until ''RNDIS/Ethernet gadget'' is detected by the operating system. 2. The following driver INF file from the Gumstix Project works under Windows XP. [http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/usbnet/linux.inf <span class="s1">http://www.davehylands.com/linux/gumstix/usbnet/linux.inf</span>] 3. In ''Control Panel/Network Connections'' and after driver installation set up the TCP/IP properties of the ''Local Network Connection'' (''Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget'') as follow:<br> <pre>IP address 192.168.7.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.7.1 </pre> '''''Thanks to Iñigo Lazkanotegi from Tecnalia (Donostia - San Sebastián) for this contribution.''''' Now you must run any serial console that allows SSH such PuTTy (Linux, Windows). You can download it from its official page at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Then, run the '''SSH client''' and start a SSH session to connect to the host (IGEP COM MODULE) from the client (your PC): [[Image:Putty ssh.png|center]] # Select the '''SSH''' at connection type.# Next insert the '''IP address of the target'''. In this case, the IGEP COM MODULE default IP (192.168.7.2).# Ensure that the port is set to '''22''', the default for SSH communications.# Finally, push the '''Open button''' to start the SSH session. If everything goes right, you will be able to access to an IGEP COM MODULE console from your PC via USB Ethernet gadget. Tech_ID=== Connect to IGEP COM MODULE via Wifi ===---- {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" align="center" width="100%" style="text-align: left;"|-| bgcolor="{#cccccc" |'''Overview'''|-|'''Connect via wireless connection''', ESSIDlst: WLAN_IGEP, SSHTemplate: root@192.168.6.1Links|IGEP_COM_MODULE_Tech_ID}} By default, '''the pre-installed software in IGEP COM MODULE enables the wifi interface''' and creates an Ad-Hoc network, with '''WLAN_IGEP as ESSID''' and a '''static IP address: 192.168.6.1'''. If you have successfully followed the previous section of the tutorial, you might have used PuTTy to connect to IGEP COM MODULE via USB Ethernet Gadget. In this section we will '''connect to your board using wifi'''. Therefore, follow this instructions: 1. '''Connect to the WLAN_IGEP wireless network''' from IGEP COM MODULE with a wireless adapter 2. '''Set a static IP''' within the subnet to your wireless adapter (for example: 192.168.6.2) 3. '''Open a PuTTy session''' and select SSH, 192.168.6.1 as target IP address. 4. '''Log into IGEP COM MODULE''' with login: root and empty password (press return) You now have logged into IGEP COM MODULE via its wireless connection.
