The Intel Edison is a tiny computer offered by Intel as a development system for wearable devices.[1] The system was initially announced to be the same size and shape as an SD card and contain 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

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

Intel Edison on Arduino compatible board

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]
