 For a visual effect, you should wire shield pin IO1 to a led in a protoboard.
 Once the application is running, you should see a blinking LED.

+I2C LSM9DS0
+===========
+This application shows how to use I2C driver APIs to configure I2C Master
+controller and communicate with LSM9DS0 sensor. At every 5 seconds, the
+application reads the "who am I" register from gyroscope sensor and prints if
+the register value matches the expected value described in the spec [1].
+
+According to the sensor spec, to read the value in "who am I" register, we
+should first perform an i2c write operation to select the register we want
+to read from and then we perform the i2c read operation to actually read
+the register contents.
+
+The wiring setup is as follows (left column from Galileo and right column from LSM9DS0):
+- 3.3v and Vin
+- GND  and GND
+- GND  and SDOG
+- 3.3v and CSG
+- SDA  and SDA
+- SCL  and SCL
