Development Platform from RS Components innovates embedded and IoT applications
The Intel Edison module is a miniatre product-ready compute module built using an advanced 22nm System-on-Chip (SoC) that includes a dual-core, dual-threaded 500 MHz Intel® Atom™ CPU and a 100 MHz 32-bit Intel® Quark™ microcontroller. Extensive connectivity is provided, and built-in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® Low Energy support make this module an ideal target for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. A device-to-device and device-to-cloud connectivity framework is also integrated.
Plugging the 35.5- x 21.0- x 3.9-mm Intel Edison module into the breakout board exposes the module’s 1.8-V I/Os, and allows connection via the board’s USB Micro Type-AB connector. The board also provides a DC power-supply jack, battery-charger circuit, and USB OTG power switch, to help professional engineers and makers alike begin developing applications quickly.
The Intel Edison expansion board for Arduino is hardware and software pin-compatible with Arduino shields designed for the Uno R3. The board provides important connections in the same locations as on the Arduino Uno R3, and also has a Micro SD card connector as well as micro and standard-size USB connectors.
The Intel Edison development platform comes with Yocto Linux v1.6 OS support, and allows development with Arduino and C/C++. Further support, including Node.JS, Python, RTOS, and Visual Programming will be added in the future. The platform is compatible with Arduino IDE, Eclipse, and Intel XDK development environments.
The Intel Edison development platform is in stock for same day despatch from RS distribution centres worldwide.
