Galileo

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.
There aren't any packages installed on their Linux distro.
There's an interface for C++ that lets you access the Arduino.

Installation
Materials
- Galileo board
- power adapter
- micro SD card
- micro usb male -> RS32 female
- RS32 male -> usb male
- download the "getting started" document
- plug power into Galileo (always do this first)
- join RS32 cables
- connect Galileo to the PC
- download and extract "Intel Galileo Arduino SW 1.5.3" the Arduino IDE for Galileo
- open Arduino 1.5.3 and update the firmware via help -> firmware update
- wait for completion
- in device manager (or equivalent) find the device [specify] and install the drivers from "arduino-1.5.3/hardware/arduino/x86/tools"
- note what COM port the Galileo is attached to
- open Putty (or equivalent) and change the connection type to serial, speed to 115200, and the serial line to your specified COM port
- save the settings and open the connection
- wait for start up
- log in as root; by default it has no password
- download [the linux image]
- extract the previous file to the micro SD card
- close your putty
- place the card into the Galileo and power cycle it
- open putty again and reestablish the connection
- it should work now; try running the "blink" sketch in arduino
