Intel Edison module for IoT apps features Tangier SoC

Now stocked by Farnell element14, Intel's Edison module for IoT applications features a Tangier SoC that mixes a dual-core Atom CPU running Linux with a Quark chip, plus optional baseboard kits. The Intel Edison development platform has specifically been designed to enable rapid and easy prototyping and production of Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable computing products, thereby lowering the barriers to entry for inventors, entrepreneurs and consumer product designers. The 25mm x 35.5mm module features 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM (2 x 32-bit) and 4GB of eMMC flash, dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. It supports Arduino Sketch and Linux, and has a 70-pin Hirose socket.
