Intel Edison - First Look (and first light)

rsc

4 Feb 2017

Here it is!

I'm not very patient................[tap tap taping fingers on the table]

OK, after two hours of installing software, reflashing the Edison board firmware and re-installing Arduino 1.8 with Edison core libraries............

Ta Da.......I've managed to blink the LED!

It's the simple things in life..............that make it all worth while.........

Next we'll try and talk to some Arduino shields.

As I tried and failed, Can you go through the steps? Maybe it will help others like me.

After downloading all the manuals and examples I could find on instructables and element14, I just followed all the instructions on
https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-edison-windows
I had to find a couple of cables and a power supply
Then I assembled the board
https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-edison-windows-step1
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/628221
I set up the board in device mode
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/628222
Then I ran the setup tool
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/628222
Using the installer for windows 64bit
https://software.intel.com/iot/hardware/edison/downloads
After installing the USB driver and flashing the new firmware I picked the Arduino User interface
https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-edison-windows-step3
https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-edison-board-user-guide
At this point I tried to run an Arduino sketch, but there wasn't a board manager in Arduino 1.6,
So I had to download and install Arduino 1.8 and then install the intel edison core libraries.
After that, I was able to run the Blinky example on the edison board.
