== How I can boot downloading the kernel using wget? ==
The way for do that it's using one minimal kernel and RAMdisk (ex: using image-core-minimal from poky), the procedure can be more or less:
a) Copy your minimal kernel and your Ramdisk inside the boot partition.
b) Boot Normally from this kernel and Ramdisk, create one script your your desired command such wget http://192.168.15.22/mykernel.bin
c) Execute the script when boot (you can do that adding the script to the init enviroment)
d) if the downloading it's ok then execute the kexec call, first load the kernel and then pass to it your desired parameters.
e) finally boot the new kernel with kexec.

== My board not boot and I don't know what to do ... ==
== My board When you test your IGEP X-loader, igep.ini file and kernel we suggest use a microsd card in front of use directly the flash nand, if your flash not boot copy all files in one microsd card and I donboot from there. You can check what happens removing some files from your microsd card for example if you wish test if your flashed kernel it's loaded in a right way then remove the kernel from your microsd card (note: use the same kernel name), IGEP X-loader first try load the file from your microsd card but if it't know what s not found then it try to do ..find the file in the flash. ==<br>
When you test your IGEP X-loader== How I can upgrade my old kernel? == Just copy the new one, the most secure way it's copy the new one and at end replace the igep.ini file and kernel we suggest use a microsd card in front of use directly the flash nand, if with your flash not new one.<pre>$ mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock1 /boot copy all files in one microsd card and  $ cp newkernel.bin /boot from there $ cp igep. You can check what happens removing some files from your microsd card for example if you wish test if your flashed kernel it's loaded in ini /boot</pre>Use a right way then remove the kernel from your microsd card (note: use the same different kernel name), IGEP X-loader first try load the file and you always can boot from your microsd card but if it's not found then it try to find the file in the flashold one.<br>
