Chapter 2. Rediscovering the Arduino IDE

In the previous chapter you learned about the Galileo components and its resemblances to the Arduino development boards, mostly at the hardware level. In this chapter, we'll approach the software level by exploring the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and learning how to use it to develop simple projects.

In this chapter, you'll learn about:

• Setting up your board
• Using the Galileo Arduino IDE
• Updating the Galileo firmware
• Compiling, uploading, and running simple sketches
• Using basic Arduino output methods
