Welcome to the Galileo Debian project!

This project provides a SD card image of Debian Wheezy for the Intel Galileo board. It uses the Linux 3.8.7 kernel that was released for this board, but is otherwise a full Debian system. This image should be pretty close to what you would get from using the normal Debian installer if this were a fully supported platform.

The SD card image is a minimal configuration, but once booted, you can then install any Debian package that you would like. The image was created as a 1G device, but once installed, you can expand it to utilize the rest of the space on your SD card.

This is the Documentation for the Official Release:

[How to Install the image onto a SD card]

[How to Boot the image]

[How to expand the root filesystem to use the entire SD card]

Igor's Release: SD card and SDK documentation.

The SDK and version 1.0.0 of the img file are not working in terms of the client USB. Any idea on how to get it working? When using the 1.0.2 image everything works great, but I need more drivers and building with otg support does not work.

Is there any changelog or updated vm available?

Has someone tried running a OpenVPN client on this?

I have previously tried to build my own Debian distro (http://www.instructables.com/id/Building-a-Debian-Linux-Distribution-for-the-Intel/?ALLSTEPS), OpenVPN connects to the server of my VPN provider but gives me the following error:
ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2)

This error reproducable when just trying 'openvpn --mktun --dev tun'

'modprobe tun' delivers
modprobe: FATAL: Module tun not found.

After reading some forum messages I tried
mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

Still the same error.
Any ideas? I'm an intermediate Linux user but no expert, would really appreciate some help, OpenVPN is unfortunately a strict requirement for my project.

I have built an image using VM and chroot. however when i am booting i received a fsck error apparently it can't find the root partition. Any idea?

I cannot find the root password for the debian image. It is apparently not the same as the one listed for igors sdk. So how does one log onto debian image?

[Michael Powell]

Nevermind, I figured it out (root/root). Thanks!
