Intel® Edison Compute Module

The Intel® Edison is an ultra - compact computing platform, ingeniously designed to be small. This allows you to effortlessly integrate it into various projects. Ideal for 'Internet of Things' initiatives, it packs a real punch despite its tiny size. The Edison boasts features that attract makers of all skill levels. It's powered by a 22 nm Intel SoC, which includes a 500MHz dual - core, dual - threaded Intel Atom CPU and a 100 MHz 32 - bit Intel® Quark microcontroller. All this power is squeezed into a board about the size of an LED Matrix. It supports 40 GPIOs, comes with 1 GB LPDDR3 and 4 GB EMMC, and has dual - band WiFI and BTLE, making it wirelessly connected. Note: This is just the Intel Edison Board. Its connector is very small, so hooking up wires isn't easy.

Using the Intel® Edison is straightforward. First, figure out what kind of project you want to use it for, especially for IoT projects. You can start by connecting it to your power source and then setting up the software. Keep in mind that the connector on the board is small, so be careful when trying to hook up wires. If it's too difficult, consider getting the version with a Mini Breakout Board or an Arduino Breakout Board. For maintenance, make sure to keep it in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Regularly check the software for updates to ensure it runs smoothly.
