Galileo Gen 2 - Rev H

Galileo is a microcontroller board based on the Intel(R) Quark(TM) SoC X1000 Application Processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium-class system on a chip.

The Gen 2 board has the following limitations in libmraa:

  • i2c is set at 400Khz speed cannot be changed without reloading kernel module, the driver is intel_qrk_gip_i2c and the parameter is i2c_std_mode which must be set to 1 in order to set the i2c bus speed to 100Khz
  • i2c bus is shared with multiple devices in kernel space, scanning it usually fails
  • pwm period is set globally for all pwm channels, when changed this will halt all pwm channels
  • adc kernel module will return 12bit number but the ADC itself only has an accuracy of 10bits.
  • AIO pins are treated as 0-5 in mraa_aio_init() but as 14-19 for everything else. Therefore use mraa_gpio_init(14) to use A0 as a Gpio
