= 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 ==
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'''** '''Eclipse IDE ''' with Yocto Plug-in and Linux Tools** '''Qt creator IDE'''
===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/MacOShost
===First steps===
# Download the '''IGEP SDK Virtual Machine''' for free from the ISEE website
# Follow the steps of the IGEP SDK Virtual Machine manual
# 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.
=== 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 ===
=== First steps ===
# Download the '''IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain''' for free 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
=== IDEs ===
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:
* '''Eclipse''': multi-language software development environment comprising an IDE and an extensible plug-in system. 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 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:
* '''QEMU:''' it lets run Run your projects applications for IGEP Technology in your own computer
# Visit the [[QEMU]] article in the IGEP Community Wiki
== 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 it for free''' from the ISEE website.
=== Features ===
=== First steps ===
# Download the '''IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework''' for free from the ISEE website
# Visit the [[:Category:Gstreamer|Gstreamer]] category in the IGEP Community Wiki
= Introducing the IGEP 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 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 ==
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. You can also check the specific articles for some distributions: {{#lstFor more information go to [http://labs.isee.biz/index.php/Category:Software Software_distributions software distributions|Site Map}}category]
