Intel Embedded, And The Arduino-101 (Computer Architecture)

This book follows Intel's excursions into the embedded space, with 8-, 16-, and 32-bit processors, derived from their general purpose computer line. We then take a look at Intel's licensing of the ARM architecture, and the contributions to that area. This leads to the latest development, an Arduino architecture that doesn't use an AVR chip, but rather an x86 architecture and a RISC chip. Of course, it executes a different set of opcodes, but the magic is, at the source level, it uses the same code as the AVR. We just new a new set of software tools. The Arduino-101 from Intel, x-86 architecture internally, can run source code developed for the standard Arduinos. They are I/O compatible, and code recompilation is all that is necessary. The new focus for embedded is on the Internet of Things.
