G+_Gary M Bush Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 What to do with a bunch of Intel Galileo Gen 2? My wife was given a bunch of the above boards (five of them, and I can get more, if I act quickly.) Knowing the Raspberry Pi is the main market (I have about 8), what can I do with these boards? A barometer is what my wife wants her students to make, rather than the old jar and straw. Any other cool projects? I believe support has gone the way of the do-do on this board (thus Intel giving them away.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Nice! How many do you have? I've seen videos of server clusters made from Raspberry Pis, that would be a fun project for this. Looks like a 400 Mhz Pentium processor and 256 MB DDR3. Would also be fun to see various old versions of Windows running on them. Maybe ME, 2000, 98, 95, NT 4.0, 3.11? Perhaps with a USB to SATA adapter, one could be a dedicated Spinrite machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gary M Bush Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Right now, I have five of them. Hope to get more, but no guarantees. Have no idea where to start, but can follow instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Tyger Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Ben Reese I wouldn't do spinrite with a USB converter. Unless that converter is enumerating a whole (s)ata controller, Spinrite just going to see the drive as a USB mass storage device. SpinRite will only run the very limited USB compatible tests. If you found a USB converter than exposes a whole ATA controller, I don't think FreeDOS would even support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
