The IGEP Technology is the ISEE Generic Enhanced Platform that was created by ISEE in 2008 based on very small processor boards that can run many Open Source and Property Operating Systems with high performance.
=== Getting started documentation ===
Visit the main page of your IGEP Technology device - '''visit the main page of your board [[Which IGEP board do I have|here]]''' - and read the '''getting started''' articles, the main pages at ISEE and at the IGEP Community, and many documentation such hardware manuals, schematics, etc.
=== Devices ===
=== Pre-installed software ===
If you have a brand new IGEP Processor Board you must know that it comes with a firmware provided and installed on it by ISEE.
Therefore, when you power up your board it boots the pre-installed software, which consists on a minimal '''Linux-based distribution''' with a X Window System and GNOME Mobile based applications created with Poky Platform Builder.
There are also many other Linux [[:Category:Software distributions|software distributions]] that you can run with IGEP Technology devices, such Ubuntu, Android, Linaro, etc.
=== Boot order ===
By default, if you power up your board it will run the pre-installed software on the flash. But you all IGEP Processor Boards can prepare a MicroSD card and [[Boot up sequence|boot from it by inserting it to the many peripherals]], such Serial Port, MicroSD card reader of your IGEP Processor BoardCard, Flash, as it has more priority than the flashetc.
For example, you can create and boot from it by inserting it to the MicroSD card reader of your IGEP Processor Board, as it has more priority than the flash ([[Boot up sequence|Boot device priority]]).
(explain what it is)
=== Create a bootable MicroSD ===
You can also boot your IGEP Processor Board from the MicroSD card and transfer this software to the flash memory, so you can boot from the flash next time, without any MicroSD installed on it.
(Explain: difference between graphical X session and debug console session)
You can access to the debug console of your IGEP Processor board via Serial port, Ethernet, Wifi, USB Ethernet Gadget, etc.
