You can download a VM image from the web. See the download section at http://www.openflowhub.org/display/Indigo/. These VMs were generated with VMWare. If anyone wants to post information on converting this to other hypervisors, please do so in the openflow.org Indigo forums, or send to dan.talayco at bigswitch.com.
You can also download the source from github at https://github.com/bigswitch/iods.

- gsm73xx: The Netgear GSM7328SO and GSM7352SO target platforms
- lb9a: The Pronto 3290 platform
- lb8: The Pronto 3780 platform
- lb4g: The Pronto 3240 platform
- t2ref: The Broadcom Triumph 2 reference design
Once you've built the image, the results will be in indigo-core/build-images/<platform>. For the Pronto platforms, the result is in a file called uInitrd2m. For the Netgear platforms it is in a file called mtd0image. For the Broadcom reference design, it is recommended that you use NFS for booting. (Apologies: A description of this will be written up soon.)
See below for more details on the source code organization.

indigo-gsm73xx | The platform directory for the Netgear GSM7328SO and GSM7352SO targets |
indigo-lb9a | The platform directory for the Pronto 3290 target |
indigo-lb8 | The platform directory for the Pronto 3780 target |
indigo-lb4g | The platform directory for the Pronto 3240 target |
indigo-bcm-ref | The platform directory for the Broadcom Triumph 2 target |
cmdsrv | The non-NDA portion of the command server interface code. This component provides an external (REST-like) interface to the switch component and is used for web and CLI access to the switch driver |
