Intel Edison Development Platform
You know what guys, here comes the Intel Edison development platform. Many of you have heard of or experienced the Internet of things (IoT). Due to the highly growing world's digital error, it has become a necessity to connect people, animals, appliances and any visible things around to the internet. This is by providing unique identifiers and data transfer connections over networks without human-human or human-computer direct interaction. It has all evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems and the internet. Most of you know of the Intel Galileo, some also attended the Intel Galileo boot camp and so you are having a small preview of what we are talking about.
Dwelling on the IoT move, the intel Edison board packs a robust set of features into its small size, delivering durability, great performance, broad spectrum of input and output and software support. It is the first in a series of low-cost, general purpose computing platform for all sizes of enterprenuers ranging from pro makers to consumer electronics and companies working in the Internet of Things (IoT).
Key Features
- The Intel Edison module will initially support development with Arduino* and C/C++, followed by Node.JS, Python, RTOS, and Visual Programming support in the near future.
- Uses a 22nm Intel® SoC that includes a dual core, dual threaded Intel® Atom™ CPU at 500MHz and a 32-bit Intel® Quark™ microcontroller at 100 MHz. It supports 40 GPIOs and includes 1GB LPDDR3, 4 GB EMMC, and dual-band WiFi and BTLE on a module slightly larger than a postage stamp
- The Intel Edison module includes a device-to-device and device-to-cloud connectivity framework to enable cross-device communication and a cloud-based, multi-tenant, time-series analytics service.
