This instruction describe how to install ubilinux on your Intel® Galileo board.

 

Requirements

 

Default credentials for the installed system

  • username: root
  • password: root
  • Please update the password once the system has been installed to the micro SD card using the passwd command.

 

Note

  • Intel® Galileo firmware must be updated to v1.0.0 or newer before the ubilinux installation, please refer to the Intel® Galileo Getting Started guide for more information: https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21838

 

Installation instructions

  1. Extract the content of ubilinux_0.9_quark-live_usb_install.zip into a USB stick.
  2. Insert a micro SD card in the Galileo board.
  3. Insert the ubilinux USB stick in the Galileo board (USB Host port),
  4. A USB host OTG adapter cable is required with Intel® Galileo
    Example: https://www.google.ie/webhp#q=Micro+USB+OTG+to+USB+2.0+Adapter
  5. Connect the power supply to boot the Galileo board.
  6. ubilinux will be installed automatically to the micro SD card: the process takes approximately 5 minutes. When complete, the board will power down automatically.
  7. When the board is powered off, remove the USB stick.
  8. Remove/reinsert the power cable to restart the Galileo board and boot ubilinux from the micro SD card.
  9. To connect to the serial port, please use one of the following options:
    • using a micro-USB device cable to the USB Client port. This appears as /dev/ttyACM0 in Linux/Mac (works out of the box from Linux/Mac; requires an additional driver on windows; please refer to Arduino IDE setup for Galileo),
    • on Intel® Galileo Gen2 only, using a TTL 232R 3V3 serial adapter similar to the examples here: https://www.google.ie/search?q=TTL+232R+3V3+USB
    • on Intel® Galileo only, using a 3.5mm 2-wire RS-232 serial adapter similar to the examples here: https://www.google.ie/search?q=3.5mm+rs232
  10. To connect to the serial console, use putty on windows or a terminal (linux or mac), changing the baudrate to 115200 and specify the serial port as recognised by your system.
  11. You can login providing the default credentials (username: root, password: root).
  12. If you wish to use Ethernet connectivity, connect the Ethernet cable before you reinsert the power cable, then you can login via SSH:
    • connect to the serial console as described from 8) and type ifconfig.
    • or use a tool similar to nmap (http://nmap.org/download.html) to scan your network.
