1. Download Software

U-Boot

$ wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/relaunch/igep0034/bootloaders/u-boot/v2017.03/igep0034-u-boot-v2017-03.tar.bz2

$ wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/relaunch/igep0034/kernel/4.9.81/igep0034-kernel-4-9-81.tar.bz2

Rootfs

$ wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/relaunch/rootfs/ubuntu/xenial/ubuntu-xenial-armhf-igep-base-no-version.tgz

Once we have downloaded the software, i'ts necessary compile linux kernel and install the modules in your Rootfs, the tutorial is in the following link:

Linux Kernel 4.9.y


2. Burn Software  in SD Card

Now we can see an image of which are the steps to boot any module.

With a general processor all start with MLO file and U-Boot.img. Also it is the same procedure for Freescale- NXP. If you want to see how to create these files follow this.

Next step is that once the processor is initialized,call the

linux kernel making the execution of  your operative system available.

Finally your OS runs and you can initialize the board correctly 


To boot from MicroSD Card follow this link.


3. Booting



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