Frequently Asked Questions - Galileo Board INTEL
What is the Intel Galileo Board?
The Intel Galileo Board is a development board based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000, designed for IoT and embedded projects. It is Arduino-compatible and runs Linux.
How do I power the Galileo Board?
You can power it via the micro-USB port (5V) or using an external power supply (7-15V) connected to the barrel jack. The board automatically selects the appropriate source.
Can I use Arduino shields with the Galileo?
Yes, the Galileo board has Arduino-compatible headers and supports most Arduino shields. However, check voltage compatibility (3.3V logic) and driver requirements.
How do I program the Galileo Board?
You can program it using the Arduino IDE (with Intel Galileo board support) or via Linux tools like SSH, C/C++ cross-compilation, and Python scripts on the board's Yocto Linux.
What operating system does it run?
It runs a customized Yocto Linux distribution, providing a full Linux environment. You can also flash other Linux images or use the board as a standalone Linux computer.
Does the Galileo have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
The original Galileo Board does not include built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. However, you can add connectivity via USB dongles or Arduino-compatible shields.
How much current can the GPIO pins supply?
Each GPIO pin can source/sink up to 4 mA (typical). For higher current, use external drivers or MOSFETs. The total current from all pins should not exceed 100 mA.
How do I update the firmware on the Galileo?
Firmware updates can be done via the Arduino IDE (board manager) or by using the syslinux bootloader to flash new images from a microSD card or over Ethernet (PXE).
What is the maximum microSD card size supported?
The Galileo board officially supports microSD cards up to 32 GB formatted as FAT32. Larger cards may work but are not guaranteed.
How do I reset the board to factory settings?
To reset to factory defaults, hold the Reset button for 10 seconds, or re-flash the original firmware via the Arduino IDE or a microSD card with the factory image.
