Creating and booting the Debian Linux SD card image on the Galileo
Here are the steps to follow to install and run the Debian image on your Galileo:
The first thing you'll need is a Debian Linux image that supports LAN and DHCP. The site at https://communities.intel.com/message/231688 has a version, there are others. If you go to this site, you can download this file.
If you are using Windows on your computer, this file will now exist in your Downloads directory. Unzip this file and you should end up with a galileo.img file.
Now you need a program that will write this file to a micro SD card. If you are using Windows, download the program Win32DiskImager from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/. Install this program on your PC. If you are using Linux, you can use the dd command to write to the card.
If you are using a PC, run Win32DiskImager. Insert your microSD card into your PC. You might need a microSD to USB adapter for this. Now, specify the file and the card in Win32DiskImager...
