If your IGEP processor board has wifi interface you can connect to it and access your board, for example, via SSH.
<br>  == Download Boot and Rootfs == You can download the boot partition and the rootfs partition packages from here:
*Boot: [http://downloads.igep.es/files/IGEP_Mod_linaro/boot-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2 | Boot Partition] *Root file system: [http://downloads.igep.es/files/IGEP_Mod_linaro/rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2| Root File System]<br>
Now you must create a boot-MicroSD card using these two packages. Follow this [[How to boot from MicroSD Card|HowTo]] <br>
Just follow the point 2 “Preparing the == Create a Boot MicroSD Card” for creating the two partitions needed. Card<br> ==
Uncompress and untar Now create a Boot MicroSD Card using the files boot-linaro_minimal.10two packages above.10.tar.bz2 in Follow this HowTo from the '''boot partition''' and rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2 in the '''rootfs partition''' you have just created in your MicroSD Card. IGEP Wiki:
<br> Now it is time *[[How to configure boot from MicroSD Card|How to boot from MicroSD Card]]. '''Note''': Just follow the 2nd point “Preparing the MicroSD Card” to create the wireless networktwo partitions needed.
<br>  Uncompress and untar the file ''boot-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2'' in the '''boot partition''' and the file ''rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2'' in the '''rootfs partition''' of your MicroSD Card.<br>  == Configure the network<br> == Now it is time to configure the wireless network in your IGEP&nbsp;board.  The rootfs partition in the MicroSD Card should be available in the ''/media/rootfs '' directory in your host PC. Go to that directory in the card and There edit the file ''/media/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces ''
<pre> interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid '''&lt;'''put here your Access Point SSID&gt;'''&gt;
wpa-ap-scan 2
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk '''&lt;'''put here your AP key*&gt;'''&gt;
</pre>
 
 
<br>
Now you might want to set Complete the gaps with the missing information from your wpa-psk. Follow the next stepsnetwork configuration.<br>
<br>  Execute To set the same wpa-psk from your access point, execute this command in your PC (with wifi) this command:  <br><pre> wpa_passphrase "Access Point Name" "WPA2 Pass Phrase"  </pre><br>  The Output for this This command shows gives you the '''wpa-psk, you must copy the psk key ''' and put you can replace it in at the space from the file mentioned above: ''wpa-psk &lt;put here your AP key*&gt; ''<br>
<br>
This configuration enable enables the wifi and get automatically '''gets the IP from dhcp, if you wish use a static IP then you should change in interfaces file:  ----DHCP by default'''.<br>
/media/rootfs/etc/network$ cat interfaces Therefore, when you boot the IGEP board you might have to get its IP from your Access Point, maybe in its management console or page if provided.
----=== Using static IP<br> ===
#If you wish to use a static IP then you should change at the same interfaces file: <pre>interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo wlan0
iface lo inet loopback
 
<br>
iface wlan0 inet static
gateway 192.168.1.1
