I've attached the PDF of the product change notification. I didn't even have a chance to try this one one!

  • Having seen dozens, and I do mean dozens, of processors come and go, I am not surprised.

     

    To be honest, I thought that Intel stepped into the maker space with unrealistic expectations.  They clearly had limited understanding of what makers need and wanted.

     

    The processors themselves were very well made and documented.  They were just targeting a market where there were already established products with a large user base.

     

    It takes a lot of time to get people familiar with your product, verify its reliability and exploit its capabilities.

     

    My own experience with the Edison was positive.  My failure to use it more was my limited knowledge of Linux.  I watched in amazement as others quickly adapted the chip for great projects.

     

    But for me, it was a device wanting a home and my house was fine without it.

    Hey DAB,

     

    "To be honest, I thought that Intel stepped into the maker space with unrealistic expectations.  They clearly had limited understanding of what makers need and wanted."

     

    Absolutely true. This is the center of the problem, and this is a reason that is a great delusion see just this class of processors ending
