=== Overview ===
This page is a starting point for all products of the IGEP0020 family such IGEPv2 Board.
This getting started guide describes how to boot IGEP020 and also gives some basic instructions about how to use some peripherals.
For further information about how to use this board, there exist other sections where you can find specific and extended contents, in-depth description, valuables web links, etc.
=== Preinstalled software ===
By default, all IGEP Processor Boards have a firmware installed on its flash memory.
That means that if you power up your board it will run a Linux distribution provided and installed by ISEE.
This distribution consists on a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
=== Setting up ===
First of all, you can begin to add peripherals.
In this tutorial we will start with a serial cable, a monitor, a USB keyboard, a mouse, and a network cable.
Do NOT power up your board yet.
'''Monitor'''
IGEP0020 has a DVI-D interface where you can connect a HDMI connector to a monitor.
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video standard interface designed to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A).
You will need a cable with male DVI-D connector for the monitor, and male HDMI connector from IGEP0020.
Note that your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution in the preinstalled software.
'''Serial'''
You can also connect an AT/Everex Cable to the 10-pin serial header on the board and a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem null modem] DB9 male-male serial cable between the board and your host machine (for example, a PC with Linux, Windows, etc.).
To communicate with IGEP0020 via Serial port you have to connect your host machine to the serial debug port in your IGEP0020.
If you don't know how to do it, refer to the following article: [[How_to_setup_the_IDC10_cable|How to setup the IDC10 cable]].
If you do not have Serial port in your host machine you might need a USB to Serial converter to test this port.
Once you have set the cable, then you have to run a serial console, or any program that can interact with the serial port in your host machine, such Minicom, PuTTy, Terminal (Windows), etc.
Here is an extended article about how to communicate via serial port to your board: [[Using serial debug port to communicate]].
'''Audio IN/OUT'''
External Audio input devices, such as a powered microphone or the audio output of a PC or MP3 player, can be connected to the via a 3.5mm jack (Audio IN).
An external Audio output device, such as external stereo powered speakers, can be connected to the BASE0010 via a 3.5mm jack (Audio OUT).
'''Keyboard/Mouse'''
In IGEP0020 you might need a powered hub to connect to most USB.
Connect the USB hub to the USB host connector in your IGEP0020, and then plug your keyboard and mouse into the USB hub.
Only USB 2.0 devices will work in IGEP0020, so if connect any USB mouse 1.0 into the USB host connector without using a USB hub 2.0, it will not work.
'''Network'''
IGEP0020 comes with one 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports. Plug an Ethernet cable between IGEP0020 and your host machine (or any other network device with ethernet connectivity).
=== Power up ===
Once you have connected the peripherals you can apply power to your IGEP0020 (5V DCC).
If you have connected the serial debug port, you will see the system prompts as the board is starting up. Finally you will see the boot prompt asking for login.
You will also see a few LED's flash in IGEP0020 during the system boot(the sequence will be different based on software version).
Finally, if you connected the DVI-D signal (with HDMI connector) to a monitor, the desktop of the preinstalled software will appear on the screen and you will be able to use the mouse and the keyboard, if connected.
