You can '''download it for free''' from the ISEE website. === Features ===* Based on TI DVSDK* Focus : multi-language software development efforts on "WOW" features of environment comprising an application rather than spending time on base functionality.* Enable DaVinci IDE 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 rean extensible plug-use of existing code === First steps ===# Download the '''IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework''' for free from the ISEE website# Visit the [[:Category:Gstreamer|Gstreamer]] category in the IGEP Community Wikisystem. This IDE is a Complete solution with debugging capabilities
# If you are using the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine visit: [[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 * '''QT Creator ==''': This IDE is focused to develop graphical applications:
Qt Creator is a '''cross-platform application framework''' that is widely used for '''developing software applications with graphical user interface''', and is also used for developing non-GUI programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers.
 
=== Highlights===
* Easy development of graphical applications
 
=== First steps ===
# 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]]
* '''Codeblocks''': This IDE is an open source cross-platform IDE which supports multiple compilers including GCC and MSVC.
== Eclipse ==# Know [[Install and configure Codeblocks for IGEP devices|how to install and use Codeblocks]] in your IGEP SDK Virtual Machine (not installed by default)
Eclipse ====Hardware Virtualization====Computer hardware virtualization is a '''multi-language software development environment''' comprising an IDE and an extensible plug-in systemthe virtualization of computers or operating systems. This IDE is '''included in It hides the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine''' and is already configured to '''allow deploying, buildingphysical characteristics of a computing platform from users, running and debugging''' your own projectinstead showing another abstract computing platform.IGEP Processor Boards are compatible with:
=== Features ===* Complete solution with debugging capabilities* Suitable to develop '''QEMU:''' it lets run Run your projects applications for IGEP Technology in Java, C, C++, Ada, COBOL, Haskell, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Android and Scheme. your own computer
=== First steps ===# If you are using Download the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine visit: Yocto Toolchain from the ISEE website# Download the Software Reference Manual# Follow the steps of the [[How to develop with Eclipse IDE under setup a cross compiler|IGEP TechnologySDK Yocto Toolchain]]article# If you want to install Eclipse in your computer visit: Visit the [[How to install Eclipse IDEQEMU]]article in the IGEP Community Wiki
== Codeblocks IDE ==
==IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework==The Codeblocks IDE is an '''open source cross-platform IDE''' which supports '''multiple compilers''' including GCC IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework provides all DSP essential packages and MSVCthe "gstreamer DSP plugin" ready to use with all IGEP Technology Devices. You can download from the ISEE website.

= Introducing the IGEP Firmware =
=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.
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 For more information about these specific sotware, read the following articles:  *[[The IGEP X-loader]] *[[The Linux kernel]] *[[IGEP firmware Yocto|IGEP firmware Yocto]]  == Update the preinstalled software ==.
==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. For more information go to [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/Category:Software_distributions software distributions category]
