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.----
<br>If you have a brand new IGEP Processor Board you must know that '''it comes with a firmware''' provided and installed on it by ISEE.= Summary =
<br>Therefore, when you power up your board it This article explains how to '''boots update the pre-installed software'''of your IGEP Processor Board to a current release. This will update to the latest available version of the pre-installed software, which consists on a minimal '''Linuxof IGEP X-based distribution''' with a lite X Window System Loader, IGEP Kernel and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builderthe IGEP firmware Yocto.
<br>If you want to '''update your pre-installed software''', you can '''create a MicroSD card''' in your host PC with This tutorial will follow the latest sofwtare. Then boot your IGEP Processor Board from that MicroSD card.following steps:
<br>#'''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.
<br>This How-To is meant {{Message/Information Message|message=If you want to be run a starting point for people to learn to:* '''create a SD card with latest firmwaredifferent software distribution''' available* write it , you can follow this article: [[How to the flash memoryboot from MicroSD Card]].}}
for any IGEP Processor Board as quickly and easily as possible.

= How to create a SD-card with latest software image =
The first thing you'll do is download latest firwmare
wget http://downloads.igep.es/binaries/firmware/poky-firmware-3.3.1-8.tar.gz
Next, untar the firmware and enter to the directory
tar xzf poky-firmware-3.3.1-8.tar.gz
cd poky-firmware-3.3.1-8/
Insert your SD card into the host machine (the machine you downloaded the firmware), and run following command
.{{Message/poky-media-create --mmc [device] --binary poky-image-sato-igep00x0-20110921101149.tar.gz --machine [machine]Forum}}
where:
* [device] is the SD card device name, for example: /dev/sdb
* [machine] is the machine name, options are
** igep0020 // for IGEPv2
** igep0030 // for IGEP COM MODULE
