Updating the pre-installed software
We are now going to update the pre-installed software to the latest version.
(if you are familiar with Linux, there might be some instructions and comments you can ignore, as they are for Linux newbies)  1) '''Downloading the latest firmware''' The first thing you'll need to do is to '''download the latest firwmare''' from ISEE. At your '''Linux host PC''':  Download it from: http://www.isee.biz/products/processor-boards/igepv2-board 2) ''' Uncompressing the downloaded file''' Now you have downloaded a compressed file with the latest official firmware into the current directory (.tar.gz). Next, we will use the application 'tar' to untar (uncompress) the downloaded file. In the same Terminal session, type:  tar xzf poky-firmware-3.3.1-10.tar.gz Next, you can go into the extracted directory with the system 'cd' instruction{{#lst cd poky-firmware-3.3.1-10/  3) '''Create a MicroSD card''' We are going How to create the MicroSD card with the latest firmware. Before it, you have to know '''which 'device' is the MicroSD listed in the /dev/ directory''', a directory where the detected devices are listed by the Linux system. To '''know the device name''', follow this instructions: '''Insert your MicroSD card''' into the Linux host machine (the machine where you have downloaded the firmware). In your Terminal session, run the following '''system command''':  dmesg This instruction will prompt all the '''system traces'''. If your MicroSD card has actually been detected by the system, '''the last lines of that prompt''' will correspond to the MicroSD card detection and mounting. Check the '''MicroSD name and path''', for example: /dev/sdb and remember it. Now you can '''run the following script''' in the folder you have just extracted, and you will have to add some parameters. In your Terminal session, type:   ./poky-media-create --mmc [device] --binary poky-image-sato-igep00x0-[timestamp].tar.gz --machine igep0020 where:* [device] is the SD card device name, for example: /dev/sdb* [timestamp] the parameter --binary is actually the name of another .tar.gz compressed file that you have already extracted in the previous steps. If you want to auto-complete the [timestamp] parameter, press TAB in the ''timestamp'' when writing the instruction and the system will write the name of the file automatically.  This instruction will last a few minutes. When the process ends, you will have a '''MicroSD card with the latest software''' on it.image|IGEPv2}}
4) '''Plug the MicroSD card'''
Therefore, you are ready to try itthe MicroSD Card. '''Plug the MicroSD card into IGEPv2''' and '''power up your board'''.
