Galileo Board Getting Started Guide
6 Order Number: 329685-006US
Note: If the /dev/ttyACM0 port is not present, follow the procedure below:
a. Create a file etc/udev/rules.d/50-arduino.rules and add the following:
KERNEL=="ttyACM[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
b. Restart the udev with the following command: sudo service udev restart
If you are using a virtual machine (VM), you may need to reboot Linux within
the VM.
4. Launch the IDE.
The first time you compile and install a sketch, the Galileo software will be
installed automatically. This requires appropriate file and directory access
permissions. You may be required to run the IDE as root or using sudo arduino
depending on your Linux distribution.
5. Select your board via Tools > Board > Intel
®
Galileo
6. Select the port Tools > Serial Port > /dev/ttyAMC0
Note: If the serial ttyACM0 is not available, make sure you have the proper rights to
access the ports. If the serial port is disabled on your IDE, exit the IDE and
execute again using the command: sudo arduino
OS X:
The Galileo board is supported by the OS X built-in USB drivers, however, the board
has to boot for it to show up because the port is driven by software on the board.
1. If not done already, connect the 5V power cable to the board and to a power
outlet. Wait for the board to boot.
Note: Always connect the 5V power before the USB connection.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB Client Port (closest to the Ethernet) and to your
Mac. Check the System Profiler > USB setting to be sure that Gadget Serial is
selected. If you are installing a new version of the IDE, you may need to re-select
this setting.
3. In the Arduino IDE, the correct serial port shows in the Tools > Serial Port menu
as /dev/cu.usbmodemnnnnn where nnnnn is a number such as fd121.
Do not select the /dev/tty port.
5. Launch the Arduino IDE application
Windows: In the folder arduino-1.5.3, double-click arduino.exe
Linux: In the folder arduino-1.5.3, launch Arduino by executing ./arduino
Note: You may see an error stating Java is not present. If you are using Ubuntu, run
the command sudo apt-get install default-jre to clear this error.
OS X: Open the Launchpad from the dock and click on the Arduino application icon.
