Intel launches Development Board Edison for Google's IoT platform Brillo

brillo* is a solution from google* for building connected devices. Incorporating aspects of the android* platform, Brillo brings security, local and Inter-device service compatibility, and A modular approach to system for your Intel IoT technology. Verified functionality with Brillo for the Intel? Edison Board results in a versatile and speedy Time-to-market platform for scaling your projects beyond proof s of concept.

In this guide, would you connect the Intel? Edison module to an Arduino expansion board.

Requirements

• Intel Edison Module
• Arduino Expansion Board
• 2 Micro B to Type A USB Cables
• A Direct current (DC) power supply. Your power supply should be rated as follows:
  • 7-15v DC
  • At least 1500mA
  • The Center/inner pin should be the positive pole of the power supply
  Note: An external power supply is the preferred to powering the Intel Edison board. However, you can power your board-over USB if you don't have a external power supply. For details, the seepowering your board over USB.

A Note for Brillo users:

See this guide for specific instructions in how to setup your board for Brillo.

Assemble Your Board

See this procedure in a video https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/ intel-edison-kit-for-arduino-unboxing-and-assembly or follow the steps below.

2. Place the Intel Edison module within the white outline in your expansion board, lining up the holes on the module with the Screws on the expansion board.

4. Press down on the module just below the words . until you feel a snap.
   Caution: unless you make sure your board are seated properly, it may isn't work or turnon at all.
   When you turn the attached module and expansion board on their side, both pieces should fit evenly and sit in parallel wit h each of the other.

6. Use the both hex nuts (included in the package) to secure the module to the expansion board.

8. Insert a screw in the corner hole and attach the plastic spacer.

10. Repeat for the other three corner spacers.

Connect the board to your system

See this procedure in a video here: Https://software.intel.com/en-us/videos/intel-edison-kit-for-arduino.

2. Plug in the power supply.
   
   Note: If You don't have a DC power supply, you can still power the board through a USB port. See the powering your board-over USB sections for details.

4. A Green LED should light up on the expansion board. If it doesn ' t, check your connection.

6. Find the Microswitch in between the USB ports on the expansion board. Switch the Microswitch down towards the MICRO-USB ports, if it isn ' t already.

8. Plug in one of the MICRO-USB cables to the Middle USB Connector on the expansion board.

10. Plug in the other end of the USB cable to your computer.

How does know when the board are ready?

You'll know that your board was fully initialized when your computer mounts a new drive (much like inserting a SD card in  to your computer). If you don't see a new drive, or the LED light (DS1 on the Arduino expansion board) was occasionally turning on and off, c Heck the connection of your power supply.

1. Plug in your second USB cable to the edge USB connector on the board.

2. Plug the other end of the USB cable in to your computer.

Your Intel Edison Board is now assembled. Choose your host operating system below.
