Getting Started with Intel Edison: Sensors, Actuators, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi on the Tiny Atom-Powered Linux Module (Make:)

One of the few great books on the Intel Edison. The author builds up the content gradually and demonstrates profound knowledge on Intel Edison. The book is a smooth read an wets your appetite to discover more. I really recommend this gem to all of you starting out on Intel Edison. The book also cover some interesting projects in different fields like video and sound. It also covers a nice intro to Linux and Python. Recommended !

Great book! A little more on troubleshooting would earn it a full five stars!

The book just relies on the Yocto distro doing all the heavy lifting for you and using Python, OpenCV and Arduino to handle all APIs. This It was my bad really - I shouldn't have expected anything meaningful to engineers from Make. The book is probably fine if they retitled it to 'Getting Started with using Linux on Edison'.Don't buy if you have worked with any kind of dev using Linux.Don't buy if you want to understand the Edison architecture in any depth.Don't buy if you want to write your own kernel for the Edison.Buy if you want to use a devkit that sounds like it could be really powerful, but you don't care/need/understand that power.So yeah. Tutorials that should be free written up as a book and sold to you for money. Returning this.

This book gave me some good information and ideas for the work I intend to do, but doesn't contain the in-depth reference I require. I think it's well-written and a great start for new makers.

good insight to learn about the Intel Edison...
