=== Overview ===
----
This page is a starting point for all products of the IGEP0020 family such IGEPv2 Board.
This guide is divided in three different partschapters:
* '''Getting started''': A basic tutorial about how to connect and boot your IGEP0020
At the right corner of this pages you will find a navigation box with this links.
 
=== Getting started ===
----
This getting started guide describes '''how to boot IGEP020''' and also gives some '''basic instructions''' about how to connect some peripherals.
If that is your case, visit the '''[[:Category:IGEP0020|main page of IGEP0020]]''' or check the categories at the IGEP Community Wiki.
 
=== Preinstalled software ===
----
By default, '''all brand new IGEP Processor Boards have a firmware installed''' on its flash memory.
'''Linux distributions'''
In this tutorial, we are going to use the pre-installed software in your IGEP0020, that is the Poky Linux. But if you wish, you can always update with a new or a different distribution. Check out  We are now going to introduce the '''[[main components of the preinstalled software of your IGEP0020: * Bootloaders: * Kernel: * Root File System:Category* Kernel Modules:Software distributions|Software distributions]]''' category.
(explain the main structure of the If you are familiar with Linux Kernel and some basic software)distributions, you can check out the '''[[:Category:Software distributions|Software distributions]]''' category at the IGEP Community Wiki to get many other distributions for your IGEP0020.
=== Setting up ===
----
First of all, you can begin to '''add peripherals'''.
'''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'''
In the preinstalled software, the serial port is configured as a '''Debug interface'''. That means that if you connect an external device to the serial port you will be able to see the '''Linux Kernel traces''', as the system boots.
In the preinstalled softwareFurthermore, the serial port is configured as a Debug interface. That means that if you connect an external device to the serial port you will be able to see the access IGEP0020 with a '''serial client console''' in your host device (for example, a PC with Linux Kernel traces, as the system bootsWindows, etc.)
(place image of system traces)In this tutorial, we are going to test this feature by connecting an '''AT/Everex Cable''' to the '''10-pin serial header''' on IGEP0020 and a '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem null modem] DB9 male-male''' serial cable between the board and your host machine
Furthermore, you will be able to access IGEP0020 with a termninal client in your host device (a PC with Linux, Windows, etc.)
In this tutorial, we are going to test this feature by connecting an [[Image:DSC 0177.JPG|thumb|550px|right|'''Serial''': AT/Everex Cable connected to the 10-pin serial header on IGEP0020 and a [http. '''Network'''://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem null modemEthernet cable]] 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 Once you don't know how to do it, refer to have set the following article: [[How_to_setup_the_IDC10_cable|How to setup the IDC10 cable]]. If , then you do not have Serial to run a serial console, or any program that can interact with the serial port in your host machine you might need a USB to Serial converter to test this port, such Minicom, PuTTy (Linux, Windows), Terminal (Windows), etc. 
Once * If you have don't know how to set up your serial cable, refer to the following article: '''[[How_to_setup_the_IDC10_cable|How to setup the IDC10 cable]]'''. Also, then if you do not have to run a serial console, or any program that can interact with the serial Serial port in your host machine, such Minicom, PuTTy, Terminal (Windows), etcyou might need a USB to Serial converter to communicate via this port.
Here is * If you are not familiar with a serial console, refer to this page, an extended article about how to communicate via serial port to your board: '''[[Using serial debug port to communicate]]'''.
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).
 
In this tutorial, we will use ethernet to access IGEP0020 with IP configuration, send files, etc.
=== Power up ===
----
Once you have connected the peripherals '''you can apply power ''' to your IGEP0020 (5V DCC).
* '''Serial''': If you have connected the '''serial debug port''', you will see the system prompts traces as the board is starting up. Finally you will see the boot prompt asking for login.(read the next chapter of this tutorial)
* '''LED's''': You will also see a few LED's flash in IGEP0020 during the system boot(the sequence will be different based on software version).
* '''Monitor''': 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. * '''USB devices''': You will be able to use your keyboard and mouse and 'play' with this little distribution.
