Intel’s Galileo scratched off Windows 10 ‘thing’ list

A little over a year after Intel’s Galileo development board got its first taste of Microsoft Windows, Redmond has decided to pull the project.

Chipzilla’s Raspberry Pi-like Galileo was anointed as able-to-run-Windows in August 2014, courtesy of the 1.0.2 firmware update for the Gen1 device. In the same month Intel launched the Gen2 board (which got its stripped-down Windows 8 version in October 2014).

Microsoft was also handing out Galileo devices free to developers joining its Internet of Things program.

Alas, there’s no weight-loss program good enough to fit Windows 10 IoT Core into the Galileo, so Redmond has set November 30 as end-of-life for the development boards.

Raspberry Pi is the officially designated migration target: “Wiring support is now available on Windows 10 IoT Core running on Raspberry Pi 2. This allows you to migrate your existing Galileo projects to Windows 10 IoT Core”, the company notes.

Will you continue to support the Windows Developer Program for IoT for Intel Galileo?

No. We continue to focus on providing a great experience for Makers with Windows 10 IoT Core. While we’ve seen some fantastic innovation with the platform, unfortunately it does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 10 IoT Core.

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/galileo-controlled-combination-lock-opener?utm_campaign=IHI-IoT-Q3-July&utm_medium=syndication&utm_source=Outbrain&utm_content=&utm_term=Q3-July

This senior project is a combination lock solver, powered by an Intel® Galileo Gen- 1 microcontroller board. The Galileo controls a stepper motor and solenoid for the lock manipulations and communicates with an Android App using a serial Bluetooth module

The Galileo processes user information from the Android App to determine the possible lock combinations. Once the possible combinations are determined, the Galileo works its way through the possibilities by inputting them into the lock and checking for success until the lock is opened
