The Intel Edison development platform is a solution designed to lower the barriers to entry for a range of inventors, entrepreneurs, and consumer product designers to rapidly prototype & produce "Internet of Things" (IoT) and wearable computing products. Intel Edison platform is driving the next industrial revolution with its ease of productizing the connected computing devices. This wave of connected devices will be a diversified collection of products invented for specific consumers and consumer needs. Intel Edison technology was designed specifically for the creators of these devices-emerging entrepreneurs eager to invent the future. It combines a small, powerful, adaptable hardware platform and partner-enabled ecosystem with extended software compatibility and supportive online environment. With the solution offered by the Intel Edison platform, your imagination is the only obstacle between you and your invention. At the center of the Intel Edison board is an Intel Atom 22nm SoC with a dual-core CPU at 500Mhz and a MCU at 100Mhz. This allows the product to collect and preprocess data via the MCU in a low power state and hand the filtered data off to the CPU for analytics. The Intel Edison board includes 1GB of memory, 4GB of storage and dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 for communications. It supports 40 GPIOs with multiple configuration options.
