Intel Edison: Dual Core 22nm Atom, 1gb ram, Wifi+Bluetooth 4.0 Unboxing and Overview
the Intel Edison: A tiny computer platform for hardware hackers, makers and DIY enthusiasts.
It’s a dual core x86 Atom running at 500mhz and also has an intel Quark System-on-Chip running at 100mhz. It has 4gb of built-in eMMC flash, 1gb of DDR3 ram, Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11a/b/g/n
It sports Two USB Ports (one USB serial console, and one USB OTG port).
It’s kinda like a raspberry pi, but it uses an x86 cpu instead of an ARM cpu. It’s also smaller, low power and has some features that make it work well in applications that require small, portable battery-powered applications that benefit from built-in wifi and bluetooth 4.0.
We’re going to take a look at setting a full Linux stack with Yocto Linux and doing some fun stuff with this platform in the future.
In Part 1, we’re going to take a look at the platform. Part 2, where we actually add a LiPo battery and do a project with Edison, is going to be posted on our Linux Channel tomorrow:
