Using IGEP WLAN to communicate
From IGEP - ISEE Wiki
If your IGEP processor board has wifi interface you can connect to it and access your board, for example, via SSH.
Download boot partition and rootfs partition packages from here:
- Boot: http://downloads.igep.es/files/IGEP_Mod_linaro/boot-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2
- Root file system: http://downloads.igep.es/files/IGEP_Mod_linaro/rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2
Now you must create a boot-MicroSD card using these two packages. Follow this HowTo
Just follow the point 2 “Preparing the MicroSD Card” for creating the two partitions needed.
Uncompress and untar the files boot-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2 in the boot partition and rootfs-linaro_minimal.10.10.tar.bz2 in the rootfs partition you have just created in your MicroSD Card.
Now it is time to configure the wireless network.
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 edit the file /media/rootfs/etc/network/interfaces
interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo wlan0 iface lo inet loopback iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid <'''put here your Access Point SSID'''> wpa-ap-scan 2 wpa-proto RSN wpa-pairwise CCMP wpa-group CCMP wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-psk <'''put here your AP key*'''>
Now you might want to set your wpa-psk. Follow the next steps.
Execute in your PC (with wifi) this command:
wpa_passphrase "Access Point Name" "WPA2 Pass Phrase"
The Output for this command shows you the wpa-psk, you must copy the psk key and put it in the space above: wpa-psk <put here your AP key>
This configuration enable the wifi and get the IP from dhcp, if you wish use a static IP then you should change in interfaces file:
/media/rootfs/etc/network$ cat interfaces
- interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
