Hi,
I realize that the Galileo board has been completely abandoned; I'm not
looking for "official" information, but I'm hoping someone would be
willing to provide some anecdotal information... perhaps offline?
Abandoned but not forgotten.
tldr: use this kernel config with 4.9 or 4.14 or probably 4.15:

see: arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig
I did some work recently on a project that was using the Quark chip on a
board whose design heavily borrowed from Galileo. We were able to ship
with a modern kernel off rocko, but I can't help much with Arduino
functionality. We were using that UART for something completely
different :).
I thought it would be a fun exercise to investigate updating the Linux
image and arduino-IDE-toolchain for my Galileo Gen2 board.
So, briefly.
I'd be _all_in_favour_ of making a yocto layer to do "Galileo" - meaning
- A tip of tree kernel
- Arduino "sketch" support
- Arduino IDE
The difficult bit
Arudino IDE on Linux is doable by individual developers
(people like me and you) but realistically Arudino IDE on
Mac/Windows is not sustainable without dedicated people over the short
term
- Future development
There are a number of thing that we never "finished" on Galileo
high on my hit list is how "galileod" works - I won't go into details
but the method of switching from download to UART mode is to use an
Irish aphorism - "poxy"
- Target platforms
To do this right I believe the following platforms ought to be
supported.
- Galileo gen 1 (FAB D)
- Galileo gen 2 (FAB G?)
- Edison
There's a bit of a mess in the Arudino IDE right now - board ports were
cloned (copy/paste) instead of integrated into the one source base - so
that should be fixed too.
Definitely a project I'd like to do on a _community_lead_ basis i.e. a
fork on github owned by th community directly.
