Intel Galileo as a teaching aid

Below are some of my thoughts about the Intel Galileo as a teaching platform for engineering grads.

The Galileo is really an versatile board. The unique thing about Galileo is that not only it runs Linux, it also supports the Arduino environment. This helps the students to get into physical programming with more easier "Arduino language" and once comfortable with that, they can move into C/C++ programming with MRAA and UPM libraries.

Getting started with Intel Galileo Gen 2 with the IoT Linux image

This post is going to be quick start guide for using the Intel Galileo with the "IoT Linux" image.
First you'll need to download the image from here.

Note: Intel keeps changing their website layout. I try to keep up with these changes but I only update it in my new blog here: https://navinbhaskar.wordpress.com/2015/01/03/getting-started-with-intel-galileo-gen-2-with-the-iot-linux-image/

Controller update:Quick controller and support for the FRDM-K64F

While the controller lets you control all the GPIOs, DACs and ADCs available on your platform, you might not be interested in controlling all of them at the same time. To over come this, you can now use an option called "QuickCtl". By using this option, you will be able to use condensed version of the controller app. Using this option allows you to pick the pins that you want to control.

Getting started with the FRDM-K64F

I was lucky enough to win a FRDM-K64F platform in the recently concluded #MountainMondays.

The board is mbed enabled. Which translates to access to a free (on line) compiler and lots of great libraries.
