Booting your IGEPv2 board

First of all, you may want to boot your board. IGEP0020 can boot:

• from a MMC/microSD card (first priority in boot order).
• from OneNAND memory.

The IGEPv2 board boot process is divided in 3 booting phases:

1. xloader boot process (It's not possible to interact with the board).
2. uboot boot process (It's possible to interact with the board using the console).
3. Linux Kernel starting process (It's possible to interact with the board using the console when the kernel has already started).
   

Logging in

IGEPv2 board uses the serial debug for output all debug information and the users can interact with the board.

Now that you have set up the system is correctly configured you are ready to login. You can do it via:

• Serial Console: here is a short explanation about how to correctly configure your Serial Console
  
• SSH

The default login user is: root

There is no password for this user.

Using the board LED's

This is probably the most simple feature in the board, but sometimes LED's may be the only way of checking the status of some of your applications.

IGEP0020 has 4 LED's which you can control, for example, using 'echo':

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/d240\:green/brightness

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/d240\:red/brightness

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/d440\:green/brightness

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/d440\:red/brightness

You can turn them down using the same command and write '0' instead of '1'.
