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 will initially support development with Arduino and C C , followed by Node.JS, Python, RTOS, and Visual Programming support in the near future.
It 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.
Has an SD card connector, micro USB or standard sized USB host Type A connector via mechanical switch , Micro USB device, 6 analog inputs, and 20 ditial input output pins, 1x UART, 1x I2C, and 1x ICSP 6 pin header SPI Power jack with 7V 15V DC input.
