Intel Galileo: A Quick Review

Introduction

This article is based on the article written by me for Digit Magazine under "Digit Tech Star Contest". So let's take a quick look at this.

Intel Galileo

Intel Galileo is a Microcontroller board based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 Application Processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium class system on a chip. It's the first board based on an Intel architecture designed to be hardware and software pin-compatible with Arduino Shields designed for the UNO R3. Intel Galileo and Grove starter kit

A Quick Review Galileo is designed to support Arduino shields that operate at either 3.3V or 5V. The core operating voltage of Galileo is 3.3V. In spite of this, a jumper on the board can convert the voltage up to 5V at the I/O pins. In addition to supporting the Arduino shield ecosystem, the Intel development board comes with many computing industry standard I/O interfaces, including ACPI Express, PCI Express, 10/100 Mbit Ethernet, Micro SD or SDHD, USB 2.0 device and EHCI/OHCI USB host ports, high-speed UART, RS-232 serial port, programmable 8 MB NOR flash and a JTAG port for easy debugging. Let's have a look at its parts. Tips & Tricks If you are into programming and technologies, then you guys trust me, this is for you. From a programmer's perspective, one can easily say "If you can imagine, you can create it!". So let's have a look at what you can do with Intel Galileo.
