==IGEP SDK Virtual Machine==
The IGEP SDK Virtual Machine is a ready to use virtual machine that includes all the developer tools for IGEP Technology. You can download it for free from the ISEE website.
===Features===
* Includes the official Software Development Kit (SDK) from ISEE with:
** '''IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain''' (see description below)
** '''Eclipse IDE''' with Yocto Plug-in and Linux Tools
** '''Qt creator IDE'''
=== SDK and other developing tools Highlights===* Best choice for beginners* All components are already installed and configured to speed up your developing process* Suitable for VMware and Virtualbox. Compatible with Windows/Linux/MacOS host
==== ARM Architecture =First steps===# Download the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine from the [https://isee.biz/support/downloads/item/igep-virtual-machine-sdk ISEE website]# Follow the steps of the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine [http://www.isee.biz/component/zoo/item/igep-sdk-software-user-manual manual]# Know more in the [[IGEP SDK Virtual Machine]] article
(explain differences between x86 and ARM)==IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain==The IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain consists on a set of all necessary tools like a cross compiler, embedded libraries, etc. to compile program sources for IGEP devices from a different device, such a PC. You can download it for free from the ISEE website.
The '''IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain''' is already installed and configured in the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine (see description above).
==== Cross compiling =Features===* Compile your projects for IGEP Technology in your own Linux computer* It can be integrated with some popular IDEs such Eclipse, QT Creator and Codeblocks
===Highlights===*You can generate executables for an embedded system or a diferent architecture from which the compiler is running | [[The Linux kernel#How Easy to cross compile the linux kernel|Cross compile the install* Develop in your own Linux Kernel]] | [[How to setup a cross compiler]]machine
===What's included===
====IDEs====
An Interactive Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.
IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain is compatible with the following IDEs:
==== SDK ====* '''Eclipse''': multi-language software development environment comprising an IDE and an extensible plug-in system. This IDE is a Complete solution with debugging capabilities
*[[Ubuntu 8.04 # If you are using the IGEP v2.0 SDK Virtual Machinevisit: [[How to develop with Eclipse IDE under IGEP Technology]]# If you want to install Eclipse in your computer visit: [[How to install Eclipse IDE]]
* '''QT Creator''': This IDE is focused to develop graphical applications:
# If you are using the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine visit: [[How to develop with Qt under IGEP Technology]]
# If you want to install Eclipse in your computer visit: [[How to install Qt Creator]]
==== Virtualization ====* '''Codeblocks''': This IDE is an open source cross-platform IDE which supports multiple compilers including GCC and MSVC.
*QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. You can # Know [[QEMU|add support Install and configure Codeblocks for IGEP Processor Boardsdevices|how to install and use Codeblocks]].in your IGEP SDK Virtual Machine (not installed by default)
====Hardware Virtualization====
Computer hardware virtualization is the virtualization of computers or operating systems. It hides the physical characteristics of a computing platform from users, instead showing another abstract computing platform. IGEP Processor Boards are compatible with:

==IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework==The IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework provides all DSP essential packages and the "gstreamer DSP plugin" ready to use with all IGEP Technology Devices. You can download from the ISEE website. ===Features===* Based on TI DVSDK* Focus development efforts on "WOW" features of an application rather than spending time on base functionality.* Enable DaVinci and OMAP devices to use existing applications built on top of GStreamer.* Leverage the modular design to decrease the time required to develop new applications and enable more re-use of existing code ===First steps===# Download the IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework from the ISEE website# Visit the [[:Category:Gstreamer|Gstreamer]] category in the IGEP Community Wiki =Introducing the IGEP Firmware===About the preinstalled Firmware==All brand new IGEP Processor Boards '''have a preinstalled 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 of: * [[The IGEP X-loader]]: a bootloader compatible with all IGEP Processor Boards.* [[The Linux kernel|IGEP Linux Kernel]]: a Linux Kernel maintained by ISEE.* [[IGEP firmware Yocto]]: the software distribution consists of a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Yocto tools. ==Update the preinstalled software==If you wish to update to the latest available version of the pre-installed software you need to follow these 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. * For more information visit the [[Update the PRE-INSTALLED software image to a current release]] article. ==Create a MicroSD Card with a different software distribution==You can create a custom MicroSD with a different software distribution. The article [[How to boot from MicroSD Card]] will guide you in the process of creating a MicroSD.
