Updating the board firmware

To update your board firmware, you'll need to download the Intel Firmware updater tool. If you are running Windows, you should have this tool already. It comes with the Windows drivers. If you don't have it, or you are running another OS, you can download it at https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/galileo/downloads.
