Intel Edison
The Intel Edison is a tiny computer offered by Intel as a development system for wearable devices[1] and Internet of Things devices. The system was initially announced to be the same size and shape as an SD card and containing a dual-core Intel Quark x86[2] CPU at 400 MHz communicating via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.[3][4] A later announcement changed the CPU to a 22 nm Silvermont dual-core Intel Atom CPU,[5] and in September 2014 a second version of Edison was shown at IDF, which was bigger and thicker than a standard SD card.[6][7][8]

First version[edit]
Its launch was announced at CES in January 2014.[1] Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed a demo of a baby monitoring system (Nursery2.0) which was created using Intel Edison.[9] He also announced that the Wolfram Language and Mathematica will be available on the Intel Edison[10][11] and that the device will be able to run Linux.[12]
Second version[edit]
In March 2014, Intel announced changes in the Intel Edison project and the second version of the board was presented in September 2014. Its dimensions are 35.5 x 25 x 3.9 mm, with components on both sides. The board's main SoC is a 22 nm Intel Atom "Tangier" (Z34XX) that includes two Atom Silvermont cores running at 500 MHz and one Intel Quark core at 100 MHz (for executing RTOS ViperOS). The SoC has 1 GB RAM integrated on package. There is also 4 GB eMMC flash on board, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4 and USB controllers. The board has 70-pin dense connector (Hirose DF40) with USB, SD, UARTs, GPIOs. The price of the device is around 50 USD.[13] It runs Yocto Linux with development support for Arduino IDE, Eclipse (C, C++, Python), Intel XDK (NodeJS, HTML5), and Wolfram.[14][15]
Development Boards[edit]
In October 2015, Modulowo[16] published information about the development kit Modulowo Explore E for Intel Edison.[17] Development Board allows for quick prototyping and design new solutions and adding sensors, controllers lights, motor drivers, GPS modules, communication modules and more.
