Information.jpg 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.

Create a MicroSD Card
Start session in IGEP SDK Virtual Machine. The first thing you'll do is download the latest firwmare from ISEE site.


  1. Select Products -> Processor Boards
  2. Click on your processor board product.
  3. Click on Software tab
  4. Click on IGEP Firmware
  5. Select Download icon.

Once the file is downloaded you can create bootable SD-Card, under Linux, untar the IGEP

tar jxf igep_firmware-yocto-*.tar.bz2
cd igep_firmware-yocto-*

Insert a SD-Card media and use the igep-media-create script to copy the firmware to SD-Card media.

./igep-media-create -–mmc <mmc> --image <image file> --machine 

where:
<mmc> - is the SD-Card device of your computer.
<image file> - is the file that contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image.
<machine> - is the IGEP Processor Board. Available options are:

  • igep0020 - For IGEP v2 Processor Board
  • igep0030 - For IGEP COM MODULE Processor Board
  • igep0032 - For IGEP COM PROTON Processor Board

For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type

./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0020 --image demo-image-sato-igep00x0.tar.bz2

This should give you a bootable SD-card. Finally plug the MicroSD card into IGEP Processor Board and power up your board.
