Intel Galileo Gen 2 Introduction

Intel Galileo Gen 2 is a arduino* compatible, powered by Intel? Architecture of the Development Board, compared to the previous generation of Intel Galileo Gen, a significant performance improvement.

(Figure for Intel Galileo Gen 2)

Characteristics:

• USB Host with standard USB master
• The serial port uses the TTL level specification
• Single IO fast level switching
• Simplified Yocto development Environment Customization system with GUI
• Debug the shell directly from the USB connection

Part I: Building the Environment on Ubuntu download the required materials:

• Arduino IDE
  32-bit Linux:
  Http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24783/eng/IntelArduino-1.6.0-Linux32.txz
  64-bit Linux:
  Http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24783/eng/IntelArduino-1.6.0-Linux64.txz

Install and start the Arduino IDE:

• Unzip the downloaded installation package
• Open terminal, CD to this directory
• ./arduino (may also be required before, sudo chmod 777 Arduino)
• The Arduino IDE is already open

(pictured as Arduino IDE)

Connect the Intel Galileo Gen 2 to your computer

• Be sure to connect the power cord first!!!
• Then connect the USB cable

Configuring the Arduino IDE

• Note: The use of the Arduino IDE must have a Java environment
• Open the Arduino IDE
• Tools > Boards > Intel Galileo Gen2
• Tools > Ports > Find the corresponding port (my is TTY.) ACM0)

The work of setting up the environment is over

Part II: Use the Arduino IDE to brush into sketch preparation:

• Connect Intel Galileo Gen 2 via USB cable to Ubuntu
• Open the Arduio IDE

Build a simple debug circuit

Swipe sketch into the dev version

• Open Arduino ide,file > Demo > 01.Basics > Blink
• Then click Vertify > Upload to swipe sketch into the dev version

Sample program:

Lights are lit.

We can see the Intel Galileo Gen 2 has the features of the Arduino

Part III: Swipe into the Custom Linux system (Yocto) in Galileo Gen 2 to download the system image and unzip it to the Micro SD card

• ：
  http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24355/eng/SDCard.1.0.4.tar.bz2
• Unzip to micro SD card, about 300 m

Booting Intel Galileo Gen 2 from SD card

• Insert the micro SD card into the board and connect the power supply
• If the SD light on the board is flashing, it is booting from the SD card, and the whole process takes less than a minute

Debug the board to prepare the material via serial port

• FT232RL Serial to USB
  
  (pictured as FT232RL)

• Screen command: sudo apt-get install screen

Connecting boards and Computers via FT232

• Wiring

BOARD--FT232RL

Cts--–cts

Txo--–rxd

Rxi--–txd

Rts--–rts

Gnd--–gnd

3.3v--–vcc

• to power the board.

Start debugging

• Execute command:
  sudo chmod 777/dev/tty.usb0 (find the corresponding device on your computer)
  
  sudo screen/dev/tty.usb0 115200
• This is what you will find in the terminal, the system will appear in the boot information, after the start will let you log in, the default login user: Root default login password: root
• At this point, we log into the Yocto system which has just been brushed into the board.

Part IV: Swipe into the Debian system in Galileo Gen 2 to download the system image and unzip it to the Micro SD card

• ：
  http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24355/eng/SDCard.1.0.4.tar.bz2
• Unzip to micro SD card

Booting Intel Galileo Gen 2 from SD card

• Insert the micro SD card into the board and connect the power supply
• If the SD light on the board is flashing, it is booting from the SD card

Debug the board via serial port

Debug process as above

1.Debian Boot

2. Start-Up process

3. Login System

Part V: Compiling and running OPENCV preparation in Galileo Gen 2:

• Connect the board to the network cable via the Ethernet port
• Debug a development version with FT232
• Log in to the Debian system

1. Installing CMake

OpenCV needs to use CMake to generate makefile files, so you need to install CMake

Direct installation

• Execute Apt-get Install CMake

Download installation package Installation

• Download the installation package from the official website and insert the SD card
• Tar ZXVF [Compressed package]-c/usr/local/
• sudo VI/HOME/EMOUSE/.BASHRC set environment variables, add export path= $PATH after file:/usr/local/[folder name]/bin

Review the version to see if the installation was successful

• Cmake–version

2. Install OPENCV installation Libgtk2.0-dev and Pkg-config

apt-get install libgtk2.0-devapt-get install pkg-config

Download, install OpenCV

• Download via official website, install SD card and unzip
• Configuration via config in the CD value directory
• Then install with make and do install

Configuring OPENCV Environment variables

sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencv.conf

Add the following content

/usr/local/lib

Configuration Library

sudo ldconfig

Changing environment variables

sudo vi /etc/bash.bashrc

After the file is added:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfigPKG_CONFIG_PATH

At this point, OpenCV has been installed to complete

Later content:

• Compiling user-defined Linux kernels
• Custom Yocto systems using Intel-provided quark environments
• ......
