5V Power In - This is a center-positive, 2.1mm barrel jack for a clean, regulated 5V supply.

You'll have to use this socket if you hope to boot the Galileo off the 'bigger' Linux image.

µSD Card - The Galileo supports up to 32GB SD cards.

This button acts much more like the reset button you may be used to.

Arduino Reset Button - This will restart solely the Arduino sketch running on the Galileo.

Pin 13 LED - As with most Arduinos, the Galileo ties a small, on-board LED to pin 13.

Boot time is about 30 seconds, so don't press this accidentally!

Reboot Button - Pressing this button will reboot the entire Galileo - Linux included.2x3-pin ICSP header breaks out SPI pins.10-pin digital I/O header (D8-SCL), which includes I 2C pins and PWM on pins 9, 10, and 11.

8-pin digital I/O header (D0-D7), which includes UART on pins 0/1, PWM on pins 3, 5, and 6.

8-pin power header (3.3V, 5V, GND, Reset, etc.).

With a USB hub, up to 128 devices can be connected to this port.

USB 2.0 Host - This supports an interface with USB devices like keyboards, mass storage, etc.

USB Client - Connect this to your computer to program the Galileo with Arduino.

With the proper cables, this can be used to access the Linux terminal. The sleeve is ground, ring is TX, and tip is RX.

RS-232 Port - In a weird, 3.5mm 'stereo' jack form factor.

Ethernet - Connects the Galileo up to any 10/100 Mb/s LAN.

The top side of the Galileo is where the vast majority of the action is, including:

Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Ohm's Law.

The card should be bigger than 1GB and no larger than 32GB.īefore delving into this tutorial, there are a few concepts you should be familiar with, including:

µSD card - This is required if you want to use the bigger Linux image.

Galileo Board - The star of the show! The Galileo product should include both a 5V/3A power supply and a micro-B USB cable.

Board Overview - An overview of the components and connectors on the Galileo.

From sitting there, blinky-less on your desk, to running an Arduino sketch and interacting with a Linux terminal. This tutorial will provide a rundown of every step required to get your Galileo up and running. The Linux half of the board supports stuff like Python, Node.js, SSH, Telnet, and all sorts of other, fun Linux stuff. You still have access to popular Arduino libraries like SD, Ethernet, WiFi, EEPROM, SPI, and Wire, but you can also access the Linux side of the board with system() calls. Most sketches written for Arduino Unos, Leonardos, and other boards can be ported directly over to the Galileo. What the Galileo tries to do is meld the ease of Arduino's hardware manipulation with the power of a fully operational Linux operating system. The Arduino pins - including six analog inputs, SPI, I 2C, UART, and PWM outputs - are all exactly where an experienced Arduino user would expect them to be. Plus it has that same, familiar Arduino pinout we all love/hate. In addition to the memory, there are all sorts of peripherals: 10/100Mb Ethernet, USB 2.0 host and device ports, an RS-232 port, and a mini PCI Express (mPCIE) socket. There's 8MB Flash (to store firmware), an 11KB EEPROM (non-volatile memory), and a µSD socket (which supports up to 32GB µSD cards). As far as memory goes, the Galileo has a lot of it.
