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

Documentation


  1. download documentation

Cables

  1. plug power into Galileo (always do this first)
  2. join RS32 cables
  3. connect Galileo to the PC

Arduino

  1. download and extract "Intel Galileo Arduino SW 1.5.3" the Arduino IDE for Galileo
  2. open Arduino 1.5.3
  3. change board to Galileo if necessary
  4. update the firmware via help -> firmware update
  5. wait, this might take a few minutes (the window will say when it's finished)

Drivers

  1. in device manager (or equivalent) find the device [specify] and install the drivers from "arduino-1.5.3/hardware/arduino/x86/tools"
  2. the Galileo port

Serial Connection

  1. open Putty (or equivalent)
  2. change the connection type to serial, speed to 115200, and the serial line to your specified COM port
  3. save the settings and open the connection
  4. wait, this might take a few minutes (it's finished when the command [specify] is present and nothing is happening)
  5. log in as root; by default it has no password
  6. download [the linux image]
  7. extract the previous file to the micro SD card
  8. close your putty
  9. place the card into the Galileo and power cycle it
  10. open putty again and reestablish the connection

Testing Arduino

  1. it should work now; try running the "blink" sketch in Arduino
  2. the LED nearest the audio jack should light up
