If your <section begin=exclude />{{Message/Information Message|title=|message= In this guide is used [[ IGEP processor board has wifi interface you can connect to it and access your board, for example, via SSH. firmware Yocto ]]}}<section end=exclude />=== Overview ===
<br> If your IGEP Processor Board has '''WIFI interface''' you can connect to it without any cable. You can open a SSH session in your computer and interact with your Board from your console. Here is how to.
You can download the boot partition and the rootfs partition packages from hereThere are some requisites to follow this guide:
<br> Follow these steps to connect to your IGEP device:
== Create a Boot MicroSD Card<br> ==*Click on the Network Manager Tray icon. *Select IGEP_<xx> network, where <xx> is different for every IGEP device, to connect.
Now create a Boot MicroSD Card using the two packages above{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" width="200"|-| [[Image:Igep wificon1. Follow this HowTo from the IGEP Wikipng|331px]] | [[Image: Igep wificon2.png|331px]]|}
*[[How to boot from MicroSD Card|How to boot from MicroSD Card]]. '''Note<sup>Click to enlarge image</sup>''': Just follow the 2nd point “Preparing the MicroSD Card” to create the two partitions needed.
<br> === Connect to IGEP ===
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> Follow these steps to get a remote shell prompt:
== Configure the network<br> ==*Open PuTTy program *Host Name:192.168.6.1 *Port: 22 *Connection type: SSH *Click Open, accept Security Alert and login as root user
Now it is time to configure the wireless network in your IGEP board{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" width="200"|-| [[Image:Igep wifiputty1. png|331px]] | [[Image:Igep wifiputty2.png|331px]]|-| [[Image:Igep wifiputty3.png|331px]] | [[Image:Igep wifiputty4.png|331px]]|}
The rootfs partition in the MicroSD Card should be available in the '''<sup>Click to enlarge image</media/rootfs'' directory in your host PC. There edit the file 'sup>'/media/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces'' <pre> # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo wlan0Note that a DHCP IP address in range 192.168.6.10-192.168.6.254 should be given to your host PC. The IGEP device should have IP address 192.168.6.1. <section end=wifi_connect />=== Troubleshooting ===
