About the Author
Christopher Rush has a degree in computer science and has spent the last 10
years working for an electronics distribution company as a product manager for
single-board computing. He is the author of 30 BeagleBone Black Projects for
the Evil Genius ™ and Programming the Photon: Getting Started with the
Internet of Things , both also published by McGraw-Hill Education.
PREFACE
This book
is the perfect introduction to programming the Intel® Galileo
development board. The Galileo was Intel’s first development board aimed for
the maker market and based around their own Intel Quark SoC. With built-in
Internet of Things capabilities, this board unleashes the powerful hardware
expanding its capabilities to Internet-connected hardware.
The Intel Galileo is fully compatible with the Arduino™-style programming
language while also introducing its own libraries and features for connectivity.
The board itself comes with the Arduino footprint for connecting Arduino-
compatible hardware such as shields. On its own the board doesn’t really do
much, but once you learn how to connect hardware it is fully capable of acting as
the brain of your projects, controlling things and sending data to cloud services
using the on-board Linux.
This book presents you examples using the popular Grove system by Seeed-
Studio, which allows you to interconnect hardware without the worries and
frustration of dealing with circuits and soldering. Most of the examples use the
parts commonly found in the Intel Galileo Grove Starter Kit.
The purpose of this book is to get you started with creating your own
hardware projects with the Intel Galileo. You do not need any previous
experience with circuits or programming, but general computer skills would be
highly advantageous. Programming the Intel ® Galileo is written to give you a
wide variety of experience and a basic understanding of the capabilities of the
Intel Galileo board. This book only covers the basics of how to program the
board, the assumption being that you will then expand those skills to create your
own exciting projects.
