Intel Edison: Single Card Computer?

or should I say "Secure Digital Computer" image

Intel announced a new Quark dev board in the form factor of a SD card at CES.  Matt Richardson of Make reports:

 

Intel Edison: A Computer in an SD Card | MAKE

Intel’s new single board computer, Edison, takes on a familiar form factor. Jammed into an SD card, the 400MHz Quark processor on board has two cores, flash memory, and includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy for communication. It runs Linux on one core and a real time operating system on the other. You can program Edison by inserting the board into the SD card reader of your computer. The pins on the bottom of the board are capable of GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, and PWM.

What do folks think?  My interest would depend on the price but the form factor is quite interesting.

  • I just got back from CES and although there was big press about this board I was really expecting more of the booth to be dedicated to this and the Galileo. There was always a crowd around the board and the baby and coffee cup application examples. For those asking about uSD format, there's just no way to put everything into that small a format with everything has. I'm not sure I like the choice of using the SD format but I guess they were going for a known low cost form factor.

    So did you manage to get your hands on one and get us some power consumption and performance numbers ?
