The Intel Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (EMGD) is enhanced over the previous Intel® Embedded Graphics Drivers (IEGD) by providing higher performance and improved usability.

Important Note

Please read the User's Manual and the Specification Update provided by Intel.

IMPORTANT (BIOS): Depending on the selected amount of configurations the size of the Video BIOS may grow from 64k to 128k. Note: A 128k Video Bios is currently not supported by our System BIOS. If you program a 128k Video BIOS to the flash, the system will never come up again (until you replace the BIOS)

Download and Install the Configuration Editor

To create your own driver for special display configurations you can use the EMGD Tool from Intel.

Note: EMGD requires a Microsoft Windows Environment to run the Configuration Editor. You can install the EMGD Tool on your Woodpecker/Robin Module or on a development host. With the EMGD Tool you will generate the driver for your display. After generation, you have to install the driver on the target.
