Overview
This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEPv2 Tutorial Guide.
In this first chapter, we will learn :
- Connect some preripherals, including monitor and USB peripherals.
- Boot the board and touring the default firmware.
- Connect remotely to the board via ethernet.
Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2/3 that explains more advanced tasks.
A REMINDER TO UPDATE the PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE IMAGE to a CURRENT RELEASE
We highly recommended that you update your software 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:
- IGEPv2 with its power supply
- Monitor compatible with DVI-D
- HDMI/DVI-D cable.
- Network cable.
- Powered USB HUB 2.0.
- USB keyboard and a mouse
- PC
Getting started
The following video illustrates the getting started process. You will see how to connect some peripherals and power up the board.
Monitor
The board will connect to your DVI monitor via its HDMI connector. You can use a HDMI/DVI-D cable to connect the board to the monitor. Your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, wich is the default resolution used by the firmware.
If your monitor doesn't have an DVI-D input, you can also use a HDMI input using a HDMI/HDMI cable, in that case you should edit the kernel cmdline parameters and replace :
omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60
for this one
omapfb.mode=dvi:hd720-16@60
Network
You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the board to get network access. The default firmware configures the ethernet device with static ip address (192.168.5.1),
Keyboard/Mouse
The USB Host of the board is ONLY USB High speed (480Mbit/s). You will need a powered USB hub 2.0 to connect to most USB devices.
Now, connect an USB hub to the USB Host and plug your keyboard and mouse into the hub.
Booting
With all the peripherals attached, plug in the wall adapter (5V DC) and powe on your board. You willsee a few lights flash, see how tow red leds light up and after a few seconds may light up only 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 will see a screen desktop like the following screenshot.
The pre-installed firmware in its flash memory consists of a minimal Linux-based distribution with a lite X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
You can use the mouse and the keyboard to dive into the desktop.
Remote connection via Ethernet
|
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 sessions set up an Ethernet alias for your network interface,
$ sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.5.10
connect to the board using the SSH protocol
$ ssh root@192.168.5.1
an empty password for root user should work to access to the shell prompt.
You have successfully completed this chapter of the guide.
