== Power up ==
  
−
First of all, connect IGEP0032 to your machine via the on-board USB OTG port with '''a USB cable''' (USB A type plug to mini B type plug).
+
The board can be powered though USB OTG connector. It's recommended use an external USB hub. Connect the USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable between the board and the USB hub.
  
−
Connect IGEP0032 to your machine. It will power up.

−
In this section of this tutorial we are going to '''connect via USB Ethernet gadget'''. This feature allows you to have an IP connection over USB.

IGEP0032 uses this functionality to allow users to log via SSH.
+
In your Host Machine, open a terminal session and connect to the boad using the SSH protocol,
  
−
You can use this feature to interact with the IGEP Processor operating system [host] by typing commands in a client machine (your PC, for example) to perform specific tasks in IGEP0032. You can communicate and open a debug session via many other interfaces such Serial port, Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etc. (if available in an IGEP Expansion Board, for example).
+
$ ssh root@192.168.7.1
  
−
Therefore, you will be able to access IGEP0032  from your client device (for example, a PC with Linux, Windows, etc.)
+
An empty password for root user should work to access to the shell prompt.
  
 +
If you're experiencing some problems connecting to the board try with following guide : [[Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate]]

The pre-installed software in IGEP0030 configures the USB interface with a static IP: 192.168.7.2

Now, pick the right section, depending on the Operating System you are using:
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==== Linux Configuration ====
 
−
 
 
−
You should have the usbnet module available for your Linux kernel. On most distributions, this is the case by default. If this is not the case for your distribution, you will need to enable USB networking support in the kernel. If you build your own kernel then you want 'CDC Ethernet support' in USB Network adaptors.

−
*'''Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx'''
 
−
 
 
−
In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should add a section which looks like this:
 
−
 
 
−
auto usb0
 
−
iface usb0 inet static
 
−
  address 192.168.7.1
 
−
  network 192.168.7.0
 
−
  netmask 255.255.255.0
 
−
  broadcast 192.168.7.255
 
−
  gateway 192.168.7.1
 
−
 
 
−
Connect to the board using ssh
 
−
 
 
−
ssh -l root 192.168.7.2
 
−
 
 
−

−
3. In ''Control Panel/Network Connections'' and after driver installation set up the TCP/IP properties of the ''Local Network Connection'' (''Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget'') as follow:<br>
 
−
<pre>IP address 192.168.7.1
 
−

Then, run the '''SSH client''' and start a SSH session to connect to the host (IGEP0032) from the client (your PC):
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:Putty ssh.png|center]]
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
# Select the '''SSH''' at connection type.
 
−
# Next insert the '''IP address of the target'''. In this case, the IGEP0030 default IP (192.168.7.2).
 
−
# Ensure that the port is set to '''22''', the default for SSH communications.
 
−
# Finally, push the '''Open button''' to start the SSH session.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
If everything goes right, you will be able to access to an IGEP0032 console from your PC via USB Ethernet gadget.

Overview

This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP COM PROTON Tutorial Guide.

In this first chapter, we will learn how to connect and log into.

Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2/3 that explains more advanced tasks.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE IMAGE TO A RECENT RELEASE to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes. Please see the article on IGEP YOCTO Firmware



Requirements

In this tutorial we are going to use the following peripherals:

  • IGEP COM PROTON
  • USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable
  • Powered USB HUB 2.0
  • A PC

Getting started

Power up

The board can be powered though USB OTG connector. It's recommended use an external USB hub. Connect the USB Standard-A to Mini-B type cable between the board and the USB hub.

Booting

With the board powered, you'll see a few lights flash, after a few seconds may light up a fixed green led. The sequence will be different based on softwre version.


"Under the hood" the bootloader is preparing to load the linux kernel. The linux kernel loads and initializes the hardware and mounts the root file system. Finally, you'll be able access to the board using the USB Ethernet Gadget.

Remote connection via USB Ethernet Gadget

Information.jpg If you aren't using a Linux operating system, use IGEP SDK Virtual Machine to connect to the board

In your Host Machine, open a terminal session and connect to the boad using the SSH protocol, 

$ ssh root@192.168.7.1

An empty password for root user should work to access to the shell prompt.

If you're experiencing some problems connecting to the board try with following guide : Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate
