Intel, open-source stars align thanks to Galileo

Not to be denied a share of the booming market for open source computing platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi, Intel has premiered the Galileo, an Arduino-compatible development board based on its new Quark system-on-chip (SoC). To make sure it gets a foot firmly in the door, the company announced that it will donate some 50 000 of the boards to 1000 universities worldwide over the next 18 months.
Targeted at the so-called ‘maker’ and education communities, Galileo combines the performance of Intel technology with the ease of the Arduino software development environment. The board runs an open source Linux operating system with the Arduino software libraries, enabling scalability and re-use of existing software, called ‘sketches’.
Galileo can be programmed through Mac OS, Microsoft Windows and Linux host operating software. The board is also designed to be hardware and software compatible with the Arduino shield ecosystem. It features the Quark SoC X1000, a 32-bit, single-core, single-thread, Pentium instruction set architecture (ISA)-compatible CPU, operating at speeds up to 400 MHz.
Helping to expand native usage and capabilities beyond the Arduino shield ecosystem, the Intel development board comes standard with several computing industry standard I/O interfaces, including ACPI, PCI Express, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, SD, 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 debug.
