[LEDE-DEV] LEDE Intel Galileo Gen 2 port

Hi perillamint,

thanks for your effort on getting LEDE run on Galileo.

Galileo itself may be discontinued, but there are other devices based on
Galileo that are not. Here, I'm having a Siemens IOT2040 [1] which is an
"Industrial IoT Gateway". That thing is based on Galileo gen2 and distributors
started shipping a few months ago - so *not* outdated.

The device comes with Yocto Linux, but I'd be much happier seeing it running
LEDE/OpenWrt :-) If you have patches - even in a not-so-clean state - I'd try
them on the IOT2040 here.
Recently, I've checked [2] and made a diff to OpenWrt but have seen, that the
built code is based upon linux 3.18, so the kernel there's quite old. Since
then I have put that project aside. (So many other things to do...)

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best regards,
P. Wassi
