Yes, I looked at the Galileo and was not impressed with it as a possible CNC controller.
The I/O access is a problem. The Arduino compatible stuff is compatible only at the Sketch software level. The actual signals are generated from I2C devices and cannot be run very fast. It looks like the best hope for fast I/O is the mini- PCIexpress card slot. Also, the Galileo offers no on-board video. The Cubie stuff looks much better suited for CNC control if you can live without the PRU co-processors on the BBB.
