One major item of note that the news stories haven't picked up on: the Galileo board itself and all of its documentation, schematics, BOM, etc, are all Open Source under CC-by-sa. See, for instance, the schematic at <a href="https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21822" rel="nofollow">https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21822</a> , the BOM at <a href="https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21823" rel="nofollow">https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21823</a> , and the datasheet at <a href="https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21831" rel="nofollow">https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21831</a> .
Here's the overview page for the Galileo board: <a href="http://www.intel.com/support/galileo/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.intel.com/support/galileo/index.htm</a><p>It has links for downloads, specs, tutorials, etc. Looks like they won't be available for sale until November, though.
