1.0 Overview
The Intel® Galileo Board provides a programmable control PCB for the maker
community , students, and professional developers. It is based on the Intel
X1000 Application Processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium-class system on a chip.
The Intel
®
Galileo Board is the first board based on Intel® architecture designed to be
hardware and software pin-compatible with Arduino shields designed for the Uno R3. It
is also software-compatible with the Arduino* Software Development Environment,
making usability and development a snap.

Arduino Wire library.
• AREF is unused. Providing an external reference voltage for the analog inputs is not
supported.
®
Note: It is not possible on the Intel
Galileo Board to change the upper end of the
analog input range using the AREF pin and the analogReference() function.
• 6 analog input pins (A0-A5):
— Each one of the 6 analog input pins provides 12 bits of resolution (that is, 4096
different values). By default, they measure from ground to 5 volts.
•7 power pins:
— IOREF: The IOREF pin allows an attached shield with the proper configuration
to adapt to the voltage provided by the board. The IOREF pin voltage is
controlled by a jumper on the board, i.e., a selection jumper on the board is
used to select between 3.3 V and 5 V shield operation.
— RESET button/pin: Bring this line LOW to reset the sketch. T ypically used to add
a reset button to shields that block the one on the board.
— 3.3V output pin: A 3.3 Volt supply generated by the on-board regulator.
Maximum current draw to the shield is 800 mA.
— 5V output pin: This pin outputs 5 V from the external source or the USB
connector. Maximum current draw to the shield is 800 mA.
— GND (2 pins): Ground pins.
®
— VIN: The input voltage to the Intel
Galileo Board when it is using an external
power source (as opposed to 5 Volts from the regulated power supply
connected at the power jack). You can supply voltage through this pin, or, if
supplying voltage via the power jack, access it through this pin.
Note: The voltage applied to this pin must be a regulated 5 V supply , otherwise it
could damage the Intel
®
Galileo Board or cause incorrect operation.
2.4.1 Properties of Pins Configured as OUTPUT

Figure 4. Jumper Locations
2.5.1 IOREF Jumper
T o support both 3.3 V and 5 V shields, the external operating voltage is controlled via a
jumper.
• When the jumper is connected to 5 V , the board is configured to be compatible with
5 V shields and IOREF is set to 5 V.
• When the jumper is connected to 3.3 V, the board is configured to be compatible
with 3.3 V shields and IOREF is set to 3.3 V.
The input range of the Analog pins is also controlled by the IOREF jumper and must not
exceed the chosen oper ating vol tage. Howeve r, the resolution of AnalogR ead() remain s
at 5 V/1024 units for the default 10-bit resolution or, 0.0049 V (4. 9 mV) per unit
regardless of IOREF jumper setting.
Warning: The IOREF jumper should be used to match the board and shield operating voltages.
Incorrectly setting the voltage could damage the board or the shield.
2.5.2 I2C* Address Jumper
To prevent a clash between the I2C* Slave address of the on board I/O expander and
EEPROM with any external I
address of the on-board devices.
With J2 connected to pin 1 (marked with white triangle), the 7-bit I/O Expander
address is 0100001 and the 7-bit EEPROM address is 1010001.
Changing the jumper position changes the I/O Expander address to 0100000 and the
EEPROM address to 1010000.

2.5.3 VIN Jumper
The VIN pin can be used to supply 5 V from the regulated power supply connected at
the power jack to attached shields or devices. If there is a need to supply more than
5 V to a shield using VIN, then the VIN jumper should be removed from the board to
break the connection between the on-board 5 V supply and the VIN connection on the
board header.
Warning: If the VIN jumper is not removed and more than 5 V is connected to VIN, it may
damage the board or lead to unreliable operation.
2.5.4 Force Recovery
If your Intel® Galileo Board is in an unbootable state, you can force recovery to recover
the contents of the SPI flash. For example, if power was lost during a normal firmware
update, the board would be unbootable and this procedure would be necessary. You will
need to ground a resistor pin as described below.
Figure 5. Resistor Pin for Forcing Recovery
Boot the firmware in recovery mode by performing the following steps:
1. Copy a SPI Flash recovery file (the FVMAIN.fv file described in the [Build Guide]) to
the root directory of a USB key. Insert the USB key into the board.
2. Connect the serial cable between the computer and the board’s RS-232 serial port
(see Figure 2). Set up a serial console session (for example, PuTTY) and connect to
the board’s COM port at 115200 baud rate.
3. Remove power from the board.
4. Make a connection from ground to the resistor pin shown in Figure 5 (resistor
R2B16).
5. Connect power to the board.

6. The serial console displays a list of Quark platforms. Select Galileo.
7. The serial console displays a user action menu. Disconnect the resistor pin shown
in Figure 5 from ground. Select the system recovery option.
The recovery procedure begins and the SPI flash is reprogrammed. This will take
about 5 minutes. The recovery completes with a system reboot.
2.6 Buttons
There are two buttons on the Intel® Galileo Board, shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Reset Button and Reboot Button
• Reset button:
To reset the currently running Arduino* sketch and any connected shield(s), press
the button marked Reset.
You can also reset the board in software (recommended for faster rebooting).
• Reboot button:
To reset the entire board, you can trigger a reboot of the Intel
®
Quark SoC X1000
by pressing the button marked Reboot. See the Note below.
Note: Using Reset versus Reboot
On an Arduino Uno, pressing the reset button resets the microcontroller and any
attached shields. This also resets the currently running sketch. On the Intel
Galileo Board, you don’t need to reboot the Intel
®
Quark SoC X1000 to reset the
®
sketch or any attached shields. If the SoC is rebooted each time a sketch is reset or
a new sketch is uploaded, it causes a full (and usually unnecessary) reboot of the
Linux operating system.
Instead, the Intel
the sketch and any attached shields without triggering a reboot of the Intel
®
Galileo Board provides a Reset button that can be used to reset

Quark
SoC X1000. If the SoC needs to be rebooted, you can do this by pressing the
Reboot button on the board.

The USB Host port allows the board to act as a USB Host for connected peripherals
such as mice, keyboards, and smartphones.
mini PCI Express* (mPCIe*)
The Intel
®
Galileo Board is the first Arduino board to provide a mini PCI Express*
(mPCIe*) slot. This slot allows full size and half size (with adapter) mPCIe*
modules to be connected to the board and also provides an additional USB Host
port via the mPCIe* slot. Any standard mPCIe* module can be connected and used
to provide applications such as WiFi, Bluetooth or Cellular connectivity. Initially, the
mPCie* slot provides support for the WiFi Library. For additional information, see
the Intel
®
Galileo Board Getting Started Guide ([GSG] in Table 4).
Ethernet RJ45
An Ethernet RJ45 Connector is provided to allow the board to connect to wired
networks. Full support of on-board Ethernet interface is fully supported and does
not require the use of the SPI interface like existing Arduino shields.
microSD card reader
The onboard microSD card reader is accessible through the Arduino SD Library.
The communication between the board and the SD card is provided by an
integrated SD controller and does not require the use of the SPI interface like other
Arduino boards. The native SD interface runs at up to 50 MHz depending on the
class of card used.

Use the Arduino Software Development Environment to create programs, called
sketches, for the Intel
®
Galileo Board. To run a sketch on the board:
1. Connect a power supply.
2. Connect the board’s USB client port to a computer.
3. Upload the sketch using the IDE interface.
®
The sketch runs on the Intel
in the board’s firmware using the Arduino I/O adapter. For complete details on
programming your board, see the Intel
Galileo Board and communicates with the Linux* kernel
®
When the board boots up, two scenarios are possible:
• If a sketch is present in persistent storage, it is executed.
• If no sketch present, the board waits for upload commands from the IDE.
If a sketch is executing, you can upload from the IDE without having to press the reset
button on the board. The sketch is stopped; the IDE waits for the upload state, and
then starts the newly uploaded sketch.
Pressing the reset button on the board restarts a sketch if it is executing and resets any
attached shields.
3.3 Automatic (Software) Reset
Rather than requiring a physical press of the reset button before an upload, the Intel®
Galileo Board is designed in a way that allows it to be reset by software running on a
connected computer. USB CDC-ACM control signals are used to transition the board
from run-time to bootloader mode. The Arduino software uses this capability to allow
you to upload code by simply pressing the upload button in the Arduino environment.
