Intel And Arduino Team Up To Launch The Galileo

Intel And Arduino Team Up To Launch The Galileo

The Arduino is already one of the best ways to quickly prototype all your electronic projects, but it’s about to get a little more power. The Intel Galileo is the first in a family of Arduino Certified boards that use Intel architecture, and it will be available next month.

Like any Arduino, the Galileo is built for open development and supports the Arduino programming language. However, it also supports Linux, so it should be pretty versatile. The other big difference from a traditional Arduino is that it’s built on Intel’s technology, so it has a little more power behind it then we’d usually expect from an Arduino and resembles something akin to a Pentium 3.

It also comes with USB, Ethernet, microSD, and a mini-PCI Express slot. It also has a 400 MHz processor based on the x86 Pentium Instruction Set Architecture. The Galileo will hit the streets on November 29 for less than $US60.
