Intel releases new Quark processor based development board "Galileo"

Somehow my previous blog post got removed from this site when I made some minor edits to it last night. Sorry for repost.

 

In November Intel will release this Quark (IA-32 x86) based development board named "Galileo" targeted for the education and hobbyist markets. Both hardware and software are open source.

Arduino supported and I believe it has the necessary IO for it to be a very nice flight controller.

Hope to see this community adopt this board and do some great things with it!

    Planning ahead for when I receive my Galileo, I ordered a MPU-9150 board, BMP180 Barometer and a

    Ublox NEO-6M GPS all from eBay.

    @ Bill,

    Hey the 8086 was a great chip when they came out with it - a long -  long time ago.

    @ Jack,

    The 8086

    1 small step for a giant corporation.  Maybe someday they'll make a chip hobbyists can actually solder.

    Oh, again i forgot to ask, hows TI OMAP platform doing? I'm sure its all snap dragon and Apple these days

    This is the third time i've posted to this blog entry. Why is that? Oh, it seems that its just repost, re-auth blues!

    Anyway this is an interesting development, Intel are trying the stem the transfer of current 8051 and ATMEL micro-controller designs to ARM based solutions. What does this new architecture offer? Intel produced the StrongARM a decade ago (well purchased and shutdown). They have the manufacturing capability to give ST a run for their money, just seems illogical that they keep with this loosing 8086 design (bit strong i know, but gets the point across). The Arduino Due looks much less costly to produce,

    Glad you got this back in and up Jason.

    It certainly presents some interesting possibilities.

    Need someone to come out with a decent and inexpensive Arduino shield to provide the necessary telemetry support. Anyone experienced with Eagle or similar PCB layout programs to develop a board?
