[Sketching14] Intel's Galileo mk1: A Maker's and Teacher's Review

[Hunter, Seth E]

Hi Jan,

I have been making an effort to advocate for many of the improvements to design you suggested in your blog post - they have taken care of power issues, GPIO speed, standard USB plug, power over Ethernet, standard FTDI serial debug, and some of the shield compatibility issues. Unofficially there is a group of makers within Intel who are making our own versions of Linux and working with NodeJS to leverage some of the strengths of the board: https://communities.intel.com/message/241462#241462  I would recommend trying this version when you get the board.

But in short my experience has been that the developer groups come from an embedded Linux background and are not tinkerers and sketchers - so translating the design requirements has been a gradual process.

Cheers,
Seth

Hi all,

when we got our first Galileo boards back in January, I wrote a review of the board from my perspective as a teacher and maker. It was originally in German, and recent discussions at Sketching triggered me to translate it to English. I am sure that some of the issues I came across have been addressed since, and would love to hear about it. I'm also looking forward to see how the Galileo 2 improved in these respects.

Happy hacking,

- Jan
