A much better description can be found at http://www.anandtech.com/show/7387/intel-announces-galileo-quark-based-arduino-compatible-developer-board Pluses: - x86 architecture (32-bit Pentium ISA) - mini-PCI - apparently priced around USD60 - untested compatibiilty with Arduino software and shields Minuses: - 400 MHz (!) single core - 256MB RAM As for Yocto Linux, that's what the Hackaday post sez but there ain't no such animal. There is the nifty Yocto project, which has been mentioned here in the past (first by Andy Pugh, IIRC) which allows one to craft an embedded Linux in an efficient and organized manner. Who knows what sort of Linux the Intel boys created using Yocto. I'd be standing in line for one of these boards if it had one or more SATA ports so I could use it instead of an Atom board as a low-power NAS, but for LCNC hosts, the Beaglebone Black still looks the better deal followed by various mini-ITX/micro-ATX boards.
