The Galileo is a fusion of a Linux PC running Intel's architecture and an Arduino. The purpose is to provide the benefits of a pc (connectivity, power, storage, ports) with the benefits of an Arduino (an open-platform hardware interface.)
This page specifically discusses the Galileo. Anything Arduino-specific should get relegated to here.
info dump
IoTkit handles ethernet transactions. It connects to a host and sends a packet with [string, val] where val is the value you wish to send. You can save information locally and push it to a server later. A watch battery can be used to preserve machine state between power-on's. [validate]
There are no packages installed on Intel's Linux distro.
There's an interface for C++ that lets you access the Arduino.
Always connect the power first.
There are example sketches for every sensor included in Intel's sensor kit. Where? Good question.
Costs $60+ as of 2/5/14. Purchase is currently cheapest [Micro Center] and [Amazon].
Resources
Downloads
[Drivers]
Installation
Materials
- Galileo board
- power adapter
- micro SD card (formatted as FAT or FAT32)
- micro usb male -> RS32 female
- RS32 male -> usb male
Downloads
- [Getting Started 005]
- [BSP Build Guide 001]
- go [here] and download "Intel Galileo Arduino SW 1.5.3" and "LINUX IMAGE FOR SD for Intel Galileo"
Cables
- plug power into Galileo (always do this first)
- join the female and male RS32
- connect Galileo to the PC
Arduino
- extract "Intel Galileo Arduino SW 1.5.3"
- open the executable for Arduino 1.5.3
- change board to Galileo if necessary
- update the firmware via help -> firmware update
- wait, this might take a few minutes (the window will say when it's finished)
Drivers
- in device manager (or equivalent) find "Gadget Serial V2.4" and install the drivers from "arduino-1.5.3/hardware/arduino/x86/tools"
- note the COM port of the device [specify]
Serial Connection
- get [Putty] (or equivalent)
- open Putty (or equivalent)
- change the connection type to serial, speed to 115200, and the serial line to your specified COM port
- save the settings and click the open button
- wait, this might take a few minutes (it's finished when the command [specify] is present and nothing is happening)
- log in as root; by default it has no password
- extract[the linux image] to the micro SD card
- close your putty
- put the micro SD card into the Galileo
- remove both cables from the Galileo and wait a few seconds
- replace the power cable then the usb cable
- open putty again and reestablish the connection
Testing Galileo's Arduino
- try running the "blink" sketch in the Arduino IDE from file -> examples -> 1. Basics -> Blink
- upload sketch to the board
- the LED nearest the audio jack should light up
Specs
- 400mhz cpu
- 256mb ram
- 32gb micro sd
- 10/100 ethernet
- PCI Express mini-card with PCIe 2.0
- USB host and device
- 5v/3.3v power
- same Arduino pin layout
