Summary

In this chapter, we followed many procedures to make is possible to work with Python as the main programming language to create IoT projects with our Intel Galileo Gen 2 board. We wrote a Linux Yocto image to a microSD card and we configured the board to make it boot this image, so that we can access Python and other useful libraries to interact with the board. We updated many libraries to use their latest versions and we launched the Python interpreter.

Now that our board is ready to be coded with Python, we can start wiring electronic components to the board and work with Python and the libraries to write digital values, which is the topic of the next chapter.
