Collaboration with Arduino, based on Quark
Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich announced the new Galileo development board that is a result of a collaboration agreement with Arduino LLC, open-source hardware platform that focuses on maker and education community. Based on Intel's Quark SoC, the new Galileo development board will help to push Quark and provide some interesting solutions on the market.
As noted, the Galileo board is based on a Quark X1000 SoC clocked at 400MHz with 16kB of L1 cache, 512kB of on-die embedded SRAM and 256MB of DRAM. It is compatible with Arduino and has an operating voltage of 3.3V and feature full sized mini PCI-Express slot, USB 2.0/microSD support as well as RS-232 serial port, USB host and client ports and 100Mb Ethernet port.
It is quite clear that Galileo goes against Raspberry Pi but Intel's Galileo also sells at US $60 which is more than twice the price of Raspberry Pi board. Intel also noted that it will donate 50k Galileo dev boards to 1,000 universities during next 18 months which should boost its popularity.
