This How-To was tested IGEP SDK Virtual Machine, but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions.
There is no guarantee that this will work on other ones. |
Start session in a Linux PC. The first thing you'll do is download latest firwmare from the ISEE site.
Download it from the Software / IGEP Firmware section of your board:
http://www.isee.biz/products/processor-boards/igepv2-board for IGEPv2
http://www.isee.biz/products/processor-boards/igep-com-module for IGEP COM MODULE
http://www.isee.biz/products/processor-boards/igep-com-proton for IGEP COM PROTON
Next, we will use the application 'tar' to untar (uncompress) the downloaded file.
Open a Terminal session and go to the directory where you have your downloaded file. Then type:
tar xzf poky-firmware-3.3.1-11.tar.gz
Next, you can enter the extracted directory:
cd poky-firmware-3.3.1-1/
Create a MicroSD Card
Now, lets create the MicroSD card with the latest firmware. Before it, you have to know which 'device' is the MicroSD listed in the /dev/ directory, a directory where the detected devices are listed by the Linux system.
To know the device name, follow this instructions:
Insert your MicroSD card into the Linux host machine (the machine where you have downloaded the firmware).
In your Terminal session, run the following system command:
dmesg
This instruction will prompt all the system traces. If your MicroSD card has actually been detected by the system, the last lines of that prompt will correspond to the MicroSD card detection and mounting.
Check the MicroSD name and path, for example: /dev/sdb and remember it.
Now you can run the following script in the directory you have just extracted, and you will have to add some parameters. In your Terminal session, type:
./poky-media-create --mmc [device] --binary poky-image-sato-igep00x0-[timestamp].tar.gz --machine [machine]
where:
- [device] is the SD card device name, for example: /dev/sdb
- [timestamp] the parameter --binary is actually the name of another .tar.gz compressed file that you have already extracted in the previous steps. If you want to auto-complete the [timestamp] parameter, press TAB in the timestamp when writing the instruction and the system will write the name of the file automatically.
- [machine] is the machine name, options are:
- igep0020 , for IGEPv2
- igep0030 , for IGEP COM MODULE
- igep0032 , for IGEP COM PROTON
This instruction will last a few minutes. When the process ends, you will have a MicroSD card with the latest software on it.
Finally plug the MicroSD card into IGEP Processor Board and power up your board.
