What is Intel Minnowboard MAX?

I suppose Minnowboard has started to target the open-source community through Minnowboard MAX which uses Intel processor. Intel Galileo already made waves throughout the Globe by signing with Arduino for its freeware IDE, and here is another open source platform through Minnowboard MAX. It is a compact, powerful board for the makers and professional community. The Minnowboard MAX official page says that it is not PC and it is open hardware embedded platform is for embedded applications or product development, where you can use this for I2C sensors, complicated embedded development and lots others. It has two variants which differ in storage, and processing capability and of course price 1st Variant – $99 2nd Variant – $139 Some other specifications are given below Category Feature Notes Core Logic 64-bit Intel Atom E38xx Series SoC $99, single-core, 1.46 GHz$139, dual-core, 1.33 GHz Intel Integrated HD Graphics With open source hardware-accelerated drivers for Linux OS Memory DDR3 RAM System Memory$99 – 1 GB $139 – 2 GB 8 MB SPI Flash System Firmware Memory Video Intel HD Graphics HDMI(micro HDMI connector) It also boasts some other specifications like Ethernet, audio, etc. The list of Input, Output devices is given in official website. The operating system that can be used in this board are: Debian Gnu/Linux Yocto Project Compatible Android 4.4 System And as per official information this board will be for its enhanced and exceptional performance, flexibility, openness and standard. And they will be out in the market by the end of June- 2014. I am really not sure, whether we can use it for PC, by seeing the features and specifications; I suppose there is no way it shouldn’t work as PC. Well, keeping fingers crossed about this Check the below video to know more about Intel MinnowBoard Max: httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSy0Xrtsfcs
Dreaming of Programming Intel Processor?

From our childhood we are very much thrilled in programming Intel processor as to how they would behave with our rookie programs, it was Arduino which said us, chap no need to worry, I am nothing just try me. And now Arduino which has revolutionized this is now reaching the extreme heights at present. We have seen much about Arduino in previous post, and if anyone wonders how can it get big. Here are your answer guys. “INTEL GALILEO” for those of you who doesn’t know what it is. Keep reading.
Arduino Simplicity Gaining Roots Through Arduino Yun

Arduino Yun is actually a microcontroller board based on Atmega 32u4 and AtherosAR9331. Atheros is a processor which could support Linux distribution.
Will Arduino Zero eat up Arduino Uno?

Well, we all are aware of what could an Arduino Uno do for us, its immense use, its inexpensive cost, simple programming and references for programming if you are not good at it, Free ware IDE, extraordinary support for it from Arduino forums, be it whatever you name it we have a library for it. This is the manner which Arduino Uno has changed our lifestyle. Because no other prototyping can come even near to it. They are their own competitors, and they have made one more board named Arduino Zero. Well, one thing goes in our minds, what is the difference? Let’s get to know overview of zero and then let me tabulate the differences
What is BeagleBone Black?

Are you crazy in tablets and PC’s? Oh! Then this topic could be interesting. BeagleBone Black is a single-board computer developed by a small team of Texas Instruments with the fund provided by Digi-Key. This open source development board will allow you to create your own tablet or PC. It boots Linux within 10 sec and gets connected within 5 min with just a single USB cable.
Exploring Arduino

Are you searching for a book that could assist you in programming a microcontroller? Then you are at the right place. Exploring Arduino is a book written by Jeremy Blum, which teaches you various topics like electrical engineering, programming, and human computer interaction. This book also gives you good coding and designing ideas to develop any kind of projects. What does this book include? Dozens of Arduino projects Concepts in each chapter are tied upon each other to illustrate a new one Programming concepts, analog and digital sensors, interfacing computer, and more Video tutorials Combines smaller topics for a complicated project Downloadable source code and materials Overall, Exploring Arduino could take you to a new world of programming that are not found anywhere else!
How to get started with Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer designed with an aim to teach the basic of computer science in schools. This credit card sized computer was released on 29February 2012 by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. So far, there are two models available in Raspberry Pi, such as Model A Model B
