We can access Python 2.7.x on the Intel Galileo Gen 2 board:
After booting the pre-installed SPI image from the flash memory.
After booting a Yocto Linux from the microSD card, specifically, the IoT Devkit image.
After booting the pre-installed SPI image and pressing the reboot button three times.
Once an Intel Galileo Gen 2 board is connected to our LAN, we can access its shell with any utility that allows us to use the following interface and protocol:
SSH.
Telnet.
X.25.
Which of the following libraries has bindings to Python and allows us to work with the I/O on Intel Galileo Gen 2:
IotGalileoGen2.
Mraa.
Mupm.
Which of the following packages is a Python module that provides an API similar to the WiringPi module to use general purpose I/O pins on the Intel Galieo Gen 2:
wiring-py-galileo.
galileo-gen2-x86.
wiring-x86.
Which of the following methods return the board that the mraa library automatically detects:
mraa.getPlatformName().
mraa.getBoardName().
mraa.getGalileoBoardName().

Overview of this book
Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have IoT with Python on your side, you'll be able to build interactive objects and design them.
This book lets you stay at the forefront of cutting-edge research on IoT. We'll open up the possibilities using tools that enable you to interact with the world, such as Intel Galileo Gen 2, sensors, and other hardware. You will learn how to read, write, and convert digital values to generate analog output by programming Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Python. You will get familiar with the complex communication system included in the board, so you can interact with any shield, actuator, or sensor.
Later on, you will not only see how to work with data received from the sensors, but also perform actions by sending them to a specific shield. You'll be able to connect your IoT device to the entire world, by integrating WiFi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your IoT device using the MQTT protocol in python.
By the end of the book, you will be able to develop IoT prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools.
