Intel Open source PC Galileo first time in China

Intel Global Vice President Yang, China's president, said to Tencent technology that Intel Open source PC Galileo will be the first time to enter the Chinese market and is currently building a relevant open community. Yang said the open source PC has a large imagination, relying on an open platform, and he hopes that, in addition to partners and schools, more college students will be able to contact and participate in this product innovation, develop their own new hardware and robots. He says innovation and micro-innovation can start in a lot of small places, and next year Intel's core is quark technology, and Intel will focus on the market in the 80 's as an embedded, focused strategy. "The Galileo computer will be available for sale in the next two weeks through some dealers in Europe and the United States," Claudine Mangano, an Intel spokesman, Claudin Mangano in Monday. Galileo was a computer motherboard with a slightly larger size than a bank card and no shell. Galileo configured Intel's quark processor with very low energy consumption. Quark is mainly for wearable equipment and small electronic products market, and support arduino development environment. It is reported that Arduino is a software and hardware platform based on open source code, and has a processing/wiring development environment with similar java,c language. The ability to perceive the environment through a wide variety of sensors, and to feedback and influence the environment by controlling lights, motors, and other devices. Galileo configured the 32-bit quark processor based on the X86 architecture Pentium design, clock frequency 400MHz, configuration 512KB cache. Configure 256MB memory with MICRO-SD slots, 100MBPs Ethernet interfaces, miniature pci-express slots, USB 2.0 ports, and RS-232 serial ports. Intel has disclosed that Galileo's price will be less than 60 U.S. dollars, but this price is still slightly higher than the other arm structure similar products.
