Intel Quark Education Project at UFSC

In the third quarter of 2014, the Brazilian Education Division of Intel and UFSC established a collaboration to exploit the classroom potentiality of the Galileo board and its Quark SoC. The main goals established for the project are:

• Compile an Introductory Course about the Quark SoC and the Galileo board.
• Elaborate an introductory course on Embedded C Programming with some exercises on Galileo.
• Adapt existing embedded, IoT, and CPS labs to Galileo.
• Investigate the possibility of running the EPOS RTOS on Galileo.
