So I have received my Edison Arduino Board and none of my software works. While its says that it should be software and hardware compatible, it's not.
This is my first experience with Intel and I must say that I am surprised that their attempt to reach makers like myself is pretty hopeless.
1) The development kit is not compatible with the Arduino; softwareserial for example.
2) if you are using the Arduino popularity to get your product into the market, surely you would ensure that the board is compatible.
3) I would also have thought that Intel would have written specific Arduino examples and libraries for the USB, Dual Core, Bluetooth and Wireless functionality. Do the WiFi libraries work natively?
4) All libraries that don't natively work should have been re-written so that they do work. Otherwise, I have to just try and work out what does work and what doesn't.
5) If I want to use the extended functionality, I will have to learn another development environment in which case; what is the point of the Arduino form factor?
What I have sitting in front of me is an extremely expensive Arduino that sorta doesn't work.
I don't get it.
