'''Basic '''
[[Image:DSC 0177.JPG|thumb|right|550px]]
In the preinstalled software, the serial port is configured as a '''Debug interface'''.
Therefore, if you connect an external device to the serial port you will be able to see the '''Linux Kernel traces''', as the system boots.
<br> Follow these steps:
*Connect an '''AT/Everex Cable''' to the '''10-pin serial header''' on IGEPv2 and a '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem null modem] DB9 male-male''' serial cable between the board and your host machine.
*Refer to the article: '''[[How to setup the IDC10 cable|How to setup the IDC10 cable]]''' to setup the IDC10 cable.
*You can also use a Serial port in your host machine you might need a '''USB to Serial converter''' to communicate via this port.
*Run a serial console, or any program that can interact with the serial port in your host machine, such Minicom, PuTTy (Linux, Windows), Terminal (Windows), etc.
*Refer to this extended article about '''[[Using serial debug port to communicate]]''' to setup the right configuration of your serial console.
<br> Now, as you are connected to the '''serial debug port''', you will see the system traces as the board is starting up.
Finally you will see the boot prompt asking for login.
