Is there any difference between how the Galileo boots up and the x86 boots up? Where can I find more information on how the Galileo boots up?

thanks,

Eric

Anyways, Intel(R) Galileo has a Pentium instruction set, i.e. x86. It boots via EDK to SPI and from there it boots from SD card if inserted using grub
