Booting your IGEPv2 board

First of all, you may want to boot your board. IGEP0020 can boot from the next devices (listed by priority):

  • from a MMC/microSD card (here is a complete tutorial about how to set it up)
  • 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).

Setting up and Logging in

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

The IGEPv2 Serial debug console can be accessed on J960 connector and you should use a DBM9 to IDC-10 adapter for connecting it to the host PC.
Read how to setup IDC-10 adapter.

Now 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'.
