The 2nd generation Intel® Galileo board provides a programmable control PCB for the Maker community, students, and professional developers. Based on the Intel® Quark™ SoC X1000, a 32-bit Intel® Pentium® processor-class system on a chip (SoC), the genuine Intel® processor and surrounding native I/O capabilities of the Intel® Galileo board (Gen 2) provide a fully featured offering for a wide variety of applications.
Arduino-certified and designed to be hardware and software pin-compatible with a wide range of Arduino Uno R3 shields, the Intel® Galileo Gen 2 board also provides a simpler and more cost-effective development environment compared to the Intel® Atom™ processor- and Intel® Core™ processor-based designs.
The Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) delivers improved features and functionality in the following areas:
Getting familiar with the board and developing applications is a snap because the Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) matches the Arduino 1.0 pinout and is also software-compatible with the Arduino Software Development Environment.
The Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) is an open source hardware design. Schematics, Cadence Allegro board files, and bill of materials (BOM) are freely available for download.
In addition to Arduino hardware and software compatibility, the Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) includes the following industry-standard I/O ports and features:
Use the Arduino Software Development Environment to create programs for Galileo called "sketches." To run a sketch on the board:
