The Intel Edison is a computer-on-module that was offered by Intel as a development system for wearable devices[2] 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[3] CPU at 400 MHz communicating via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.[4][5] A later announcement changed the CPU to a 500 MHz Silvermont dual-core Intel Atom CPU,[6] and in September 2014 a second version of Edison was shown at IDF, which was bigger and thicker than a standard SD card.[7][8][9]
The board was discontinued on June 19, 2017.[1]
First version
[edit]Its launch was announced at CES in January 2014.[2] Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed a demo of a baby monitoring system (Nursery2.0) which was created using Intel Edison.[10] He also announced that the Wolfram Language and Mathematica will be available on the Intel Edison[11][12] and that the device will be able to run Linux.[13]
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.[14] It runs Yocto Linux with development support for Arduino IDE, Eclipse (C, C++, Python), and Intel XDK (NodeJS, HTML5).
Interface connector
[edit]The connector on Intel Edison is a Hirose 70-pin DF40 Series “header” connector. (Hirose part number: DF40C-70DP-0.4V(51)). It exports many signals (USB, GPIOs, SPI, I²C, PWM, etc.).
The mating Hirose connector on an expansion board is the “receptacle” connector and is available in three different heights (1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm).
Development boards
[edit]Arduino board
[edit]
Intel Released an Arduino Uno compatible board (with only 4 PWM pins instead of 6) that accepts the Intel Edison module. Newer revisions have 6 PWM pins.
Board I/O Features:
- 20 digital input/output pins, including 6 pins as PWM outputs
- 6 analog inputs
- 1 UART (Rx/Tx)
- 1 I²C
- 1 ICSP (In-system programming) 6-pin header (SPI)
- Micro USB device connector OR (via mechanical switch) dedicated standard size USB host Type-A connector
- Micro USB device (connected to UART)
- SD card connector
- DC power jack (7 to 15VDC input)
Intel breakout board
[edit]
Intel released a breakout board that is twice the area of the Intel Edison module and is designed for prototyping with open-source hardware and software.
- Exposes native 1.8 V I/O of the Edison module
- 0.1” grid I/O array of through-hole solder points
- USB OTG with USB Micro Type-AB connector
- USB OTG power switch
- Battery Charger
- USB to device UART bridge with USB Micro
- Type-B connector
- DC power supply jack (7 V – 15 V) DC input
The table below lists the signals from the Edison Module that are routed to the four breakout connector (J17-J20). The figure below shows the location of each connector.
