Overview of this book

This book employs an incremental, step-by-step approach to get you familiarized with everything from the basic terms, board components, and development environments to developing real projects. Each project will demonstrate how to use specific board components and tools. Both Galileo and Galileo Gen 2 are covered in this book.

The MRAA library

Galileo IoT Developer Kit image brings a very useful library named MRAA (https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa). It is a low-level skeleton for the I/O communication, helping you stay away from the GPIOs direct manipulation, which can be harmful if you don't know what you are doing. Like the Arduino methods to control or read from the board pins, this library offers similar methods, comprising the following submodules:

Aio: This contains the methods to read values from the board analog pins and change the ADC resolution
Gpio: This contains the methods to read and write to digital pins
I2c: This contains the methods to communicate using I2c
Pwm: This contains the methods to handle the pulse with modulation signals
Spi: This enables the Spi bus
Uart: This enables the UART
Note
If you want to read more about the library's I/O capabilities, visit https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/internet-of-things-using-mraa-to-abstract-platform-io-capabilities.
