Make Magazine does an unboxing of the Intel Edison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPXQ65QRV3k
It's the same SoC as in the Intel Galileo, but mounted on a tiny carrier board meant to dock onto your own custom motherboard. The kit they unbox ships with a motherboard that has Arduino shield compatible connectors. They show the Edison along side a Raspberry Pi compute module, illustrating that the Edison is about 1/2 the size. Left unexplained is how the Edison gets all its I/Os passed to the motherboard through its tiny connector. Does it rely on a multiplexer on the motherboard? Or is the connector super dense? (Hard to tell with the limited resolution of the video.) One of the comments clarifies that it is the latter, "The connector is is a Hirose DF40 connector, which is widely available, though I doubt anyone could hand solder them..." -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
