![]() ![]() So, before we get started, get the following things: This is why I came up with this Instructable to help all those newbies out there and explain everything about the Edison in the simplest language possible. For example Yocto Linux, which the Edison runs, is a terminal, where you type in commands, just like computers in the '80s. Because of this, the Edison is a little more complicated, so beginners will have a tough time understanding stuff. However, the Intel Edison communities forum is a lively place, so one can expect an answer to their problem pretty quick, like within 2 days. Simply setting up the Edison was a tedious procedure, as the people at the forums used bizarre words and very technical terms. So when I started using my Edison, I found that it has a very small user community (now growing) and hence not as much documentation as I'd like. Two Intel Atom Silvermont cores One Intel Quark core 1GB integrated RAM.The Edison is made specifically for IoT (Internet of Things) projects, and also wearables, taking advantage of its size. It runs Linux, and supports Arduino, Python, Node.js and other programming languages as well. The Edison goes well with its breakout board (which I used), as it makes it easier to program and use. It has dual-core Atom CPU, and includes WiFi and Bluetooth in one heck of a tiny package. If your wondering what that is, the Intel Edison is a tiny computer the size of an SD card (that's seriously small), for electronics and computer hobbyists out there. Hey there! I recently received an Intel Edison board from Instructables, as a nice gift.
