In the preinstalled software, the serial port is configured as a '''Debug interface'''.
Therefore, if you connect an external device to the serial port you will be able to see the '''Linux Kernel traces''', as the system boots.

Follow these steps:
* Connect an '''AT/Everex Cable''' to the '''10-pin serial header''' on IGEPv2 and a '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem null modem] DB9 male-male''' serial cable between the board and your host machine.
* Refer to the article: '''[[How_to_setup_the_IDC10_cable|How to setup the IDC10 cable]]''' to setup the IDC10 cable.
* You can also use a Serial port in your host machine you might need a '''USB to Serial converter''' to communicate via this port.
* Run a serial console, or any program that can interact with the serial port in your host machine, such Minicom, PuTTy (Linux, Windows), Terminal (Windows), etc.
* Refer to this extended article about '''[[Using serial debug port to communicate]]''' to setup the right configuration of your serial console.
Now, as you are connected to the '''serial debug port''', you will see the system traces as the board is starting up.
Finally you will see the boot prompt asking for login.
