This article contains information about HOWTO create a SD-Card to boot the demo camera software for IGEP COM MODULEprocessor boards. To see the camera output is recommended use an IGEPv2, IGEP BERLIN or IGEP PARIS connected to the DVI port.

First, download the pre-built demo camera rootfs (beta version)
$ wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/releases/demos/demo-image-camera-igep00x0-2012111220140206.tar.bz2gz
This tarball contains a bootable image, which can be used to directly boot on a SD-card.
Then, clone latest igep $ tar xzf demo-image-toolscamera-igep00x0-20140206.tar.gz $ git clone git://git.isee.biz/pub/scm/igepcd demo-image-camera-igep00x0-tools.git20140206
Under Linux, insert a SD-card media and use igep-media-create script to copy the image to SD-card media.
$ cd igep-tools/scripts $ ./igep-media-create --mmc <mmc> --image ../../demo-image-camera-igep00x0-2012111220140206.tar.bz2 \ --machine igep0030 <machine> --buddy camr0010camr00x0
where,
<mmc> - is the SD-Card device of your computer.
<machine> - is the IGEP processor board. Options are:
igep0020 - For IGEPv2
igep0030 - For IGEP COM MODULE
This should give you a bootable SD-card.
This Now that you have the SD-card created you should give you a bootable configure the system for your sensor. To do that, just mount the boot partition of the SD-card and edit the igep.ini file, after the buddy=camr00x0 line, add the sensor type appending :  camr00x0.sensor=mt9v034 or  camr00x0.sensor=mt9p031 Finally, umount and eject the SD-cardsafely.
Insert the SD-card media into the micro-SD card socket of IGEP COM MODULE processor board and power on it. This should result in a running system with a serial login link.
Prompt into the login using the root account.
Run the live example ([http://git.ideasonboard.org/omap3-isp-live.git http://git.ideasonboard.org/omap3-isp-live.git]) typing:
# modprobe omap_vout
You should see the captured image in your DVI monitor.
