Intel Galileo and x86 SBCs῁ As an Internet of Things (IoT) Building Block ῁ Small Board Computers

What is the Internet of Things (IoT)? Internet Was “Invented” Static Pages Javascript Effects Web 3.0 Big Data Geolocation Mobile Technology Web 2.0 Content Features Better Browsers Browser as a Workspace Internet of Everything Everything is Online Devices are “Smart” Machines are Learning

What are Embedded Computers? Smaller Versions of Big Computers Computers that Serve a Specific Purpose or Limited Purpose Controllers (Automobiles, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Elevators) Speech Processors (DSP Radios, Cellphones) Computers that can be found inside other computers See YouTube: https://youtu.be/lZGHbMS882w https://arstechnica.com/security/2014/07/this-thumbdrive-hacks-computers-badusb-exploit-makes-devices-turn-evil/ http://hackaday.com/2013/08/02/sprite_tm-ohm2013-talk-hacking-hard-drive-controller-chips

Why Use x86? A Short History of Personal Computers The standard for Personal Computers since the IBM PC.  Actually that was based on the Intel 8088.  Apple used the 6502 and then the Motorola 68000. After the 8088 there was the 8086 the 80186 the 80286 the 80386 the 80486.  Then things got complicated.  The was a 80586 which was the same as the Pentium and a 80686 and Cyrix and AMD followed suit and then there was the Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium IV.  The AMD 64 bit processors all used x86 intructions.  Even Apple used the PowerPC. Do you see why x86 instructions are so important?  There is a lot of software out there. Please look at the books I brought from Mindshare if you want to have some idea of what x86 opcodes look like!

Compare Intel Galileo to Arduino http://www.drdobbs.com/embedded-systems/galileo-the-slowest-fast-computer-around/240165716 http://alextgalileo.altervista.org/blog/reconfiguring-linux-kernel-adding-drivers-galileos-linux-image/ One Chip for full Control No Big Computer To Deal With Easy to Use Arduino.cc Faster: Do you have any number?

Compare Intel Galileo to Raspberry Pi Intel x86 Raspberry Pi The Edison is not a Raspberry Pi https://www.sparkfun.com/news/1603 It might be more fair to compare Intel Galileo to the Raspberry Pi Compute Module http://www2.mouser.com/applications/open-source-hardware-galileo-pi/
