Internet of Things with Python

Summary

In this chapter, we learnt the different features offered by the Intel Galileo Gen 2 board. We visualized the different components of the board and we understood the meaning of the different pins, LEDs, and connectors. We also learned to check the board's firmware version and to update it in case it is necessary to do so.

Now that we recognize the different components of the board, we have to prepare it to work with Python as our main programming language, which is what we are going to discuss in the next chapter.
