Intel Galileo - Arduino compatible x86 board

Could this be a handy CPU for a next-gen emonTx? It's running at 400 MHz.

Meh

From the galileo faq:

The GPIO output pins on Intel® Galileo are provided by an I2C Port Expander that is running at standard mode (100 kHz). Each I2C request to update a GPIO requires approximately 2ms. In addition to software overhead, this restricts the frequency achievable on the GPIO outputs to approximately 230 Hz.

 

I think the tre will be a much more interesting piece of hardware ...
