* The default firmware provided is a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
* This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn create a SD card with latest firmware available and if the user want write to the flash memory for any IGEP devices as quickly and easily as possible.
* Note that this How-To was tested with an Ubuntu 10.04 host machine, but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions. We do not issue any guarantee that this will work on other distributions.
* This How-To will start out by creating a bootable SD card with latest firmware image.
* Next, we will cover how to write the firmware image to the flash memory from the SD card.
= How to create a SD-card with latest software image =
= How The first thing you'll do is download latest firwmare wget http://downloads.igep.es/binaries/firmware/poky-firmware-3.3.1-6.tar.gz Next, untar the firmware and enter to flash the latest software directory tar xzf poky-firmware-3.3.1-6.tar.gz cd poky-firmware-3.3.1-6/ Insert your SD card into the host machine (the machine you downloaded the firmware), and run following command ./poky-media-create --mmc [device] --binary poky-image =-sato-igep00x0-20110803124250.tar.gz --machine [machine] where:* [device] is the SD card device name* [machine] is the machine name, options are** igep0020** igep0030
(obsolete)Finally plug the SD card into IGEP device and power up your board.

For example, to flash the firmware factory v3memory.2.1-0 download from
