= Introducing the developing tools for IGEP Technology = 
All IGEP Technology devices have many free developing tools and resources. Here is a little introduction to this developing environment:
== IGEP SDK Virtual Machine ==
==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'''
===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-manualmanual]
# Know more in the [[IGEP SDK Virtual Machine]] article
== 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 consists on a set of all necessary tools like a cross compiler, embedded libraries, etc. to compile program sources for ''' is already installed and configured in the IGEP devices from a different device, such a PC. You can download from the ISEE websiteSDK Virtual Machine (see description above).
=== 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 ===
* Easy to install
* Develop in your own Linux machine
=== First steps What's included===# Download the IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain from the ISEE website====IDEs====# Download the Software Reference Manual# Follow the steps of the [[How An Interactive Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to setup a cross compiler|IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain]] articlecomputer programmers for software development.
=== IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain is compatible with the following IDEs ===:
Interactive Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for * '''Eclipse''': multi-language software developmentenvironment comprising an IDE and an extensible plug-in system. IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain This IDE is compatible a Complete solution with the following IDEs: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 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]]
 
* '''Codeblocks''': This IDE is an open source cross-platform IDE which supports multiple compilers including GCC and MSVC.
 
# Know [[Install and configure Codeblocks for IGEP devices|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:
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:
* '''QEMU:''' it lets run Run your projects applications for IGEP Technology in your own computer
 
===First steps===
# Download the IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain from the ISEE website
# Download the Software Reference Manual
# Follow the steps of the [[How to setup a cross compiler|IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain]] article
# Visit the [[QEMU]] article in the IGEP Community Wiki
== IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework ==
 
==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.
* 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 ==
=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|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 ==
==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]
