I finally got a link set up between an Intel Galileo Gen 2 and an LPC1114 using the very low cost and low energy NRF24L01 radio modules. The interface code is written from the ground up and is in C for the LPC1114 and javascript for the Galileo. Both code bases were developed in parallel so function names and semantics are common to both.
