2nd Generation Product Enhancements
The Intel
® Galileo Board (Gen 2) delivers improved features and functionality in the following areas:
- 12 GPIOs fully native for greater speed and improved drive strength.
- 12-bit PWM for more precise control of servos and smoother response.
- 12 V Power-over-Ethernet capable.
- Power supplies from 7V to 15V are supported.
- Serial console UART header is compatible with FTDI USB converters.
- Console UART1 can be redirected to Arduino headers in sketches, which can eliminate the need for soft-serial.
Arduino Uno R3 Compatible
Getting familiar with the board and developing applications is a snap because the Intel
® Galileo board (Gen 2) matches the Arduino 1.0 pinout and is also software-compatible with the Arduino Software Development Environment.
Open Source Hardware
The Intel
® Galileo board (Gen 2) is an open source hardware design. Schematics, Cadence
® Allegro
® board files, and bill of materials (BOM) are freely available for download.
Extensive Expandability
In addition to Arduino hardware and software compatibility, the Intel
® Galileo board (Gen 2) includes the following industry-standard I/O ports and features:
- Full-sized mini-PCI Express slot
- 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port with PoE support
- A microSD slot
- TTL UART 6-pin header
- USB 2.0 Host port
- USB 2.0 Client port
