Error during installing Mellanox MLNX_OFED 1.5.3 for CentOS 6.3.

I downloaded the Mellanox MLNX_OFED Drivers for RH 6.3 and CentOS 6.3

[root@node-c01 iso]# ./mlnxofedinstall
This program will install the MLNX_OFED_LINUX package on your machine.
Note that all other Mellanox, OEM, OFED, or Distribution IB packages will be r                                                                                                                       ved.

libibumad was not created

This look like the libibumad packages are missing so I did a

# yum install  libibumad* 

But when I launched the ./mlnxofedinstall, the error appear again. Somehow the scripts remove the libibumad packages that I installed and the error occured again.

To resolve the issue, I used MLNX_OFED 2.0.3 and everything was ok.

Intel unveils Quark-based "maker board"

Intel has just launched the Intel Galileo board, the first product in a new family of Arduino-compatible development boards featuring Intel® architecture, and based on the recently announced Quark family of processors.

The Galileo development board is a great tool for quickly prototyping simple, interactive designs such as LED light displays that respond to social media, or for tackling more complex projects, from automating home appliances to building life-size robots controlled by a smartphone.

 This platform provides the ease of Intel architecture development through support for the Microsoft Windows*, Mac OS* and Linux* host operating systems. It also brings the simplicity of the Arduino software integrated development environment (IDE).........
