Development Board

Intel Galileo Gen 2®

Development Board

The 2nd generation Intel® Galileo board provides a single board controller 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 native I/O capabilities of the
Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) provide a full-featured offering for a wide range of
applications. Arduino-Certified and designed to be hardware-, software-, and
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.
