Tiny Edison dev board empowers bright ideas

2 April 2014 Computer/Embedded Technology

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich unveiled Edison, the company’s new ultra-miniature development board. Housed in an SD card form factor and based on Intel’s Quark processor technology, the computer boasts built-in wireless capabilities and support for multiple operating systems.

Expected to be available sometime during this year’s US summer, Edison is targeted at inventors, entrepreneurs and consumer product designers requiring very energy-efficient and physically small solutions. It features a 22 nm 400 MHz processor with two cores, and integrates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

The tiny board has already been designed into a smart, turtle-shaped children’s toy that includes baby monitoring functionality enabled by sensors that monitor things like the baby’s temperature, breathing and motion, and can send this data to an app on the parent’s iPhone or Android device, as well as trigger actions on other connected devices, such as an automatic bottle warmer or a coffee cup.
