Android on Edison!



It's been a while since I've published anything to this blog and also since I've played with the Edison.
Part of the reason I stayed away from the Edison is because when I first heard about it at the Maker Fair in NYC from an Intel Rep giving a presentation, he went into great detail about how many cloud based services would be embedded and included with the Edison.
I recall him saying that is was perhaps the best value of the edison. In any event that never came to fruition. And all of the cool whizbang cloud peices never apeared. In fact I eventually came across this:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-iot-platforms-getting-started-cloud-analytics

Which goes on to say:
"NOTICE: Intel® Cloud Analytics have been discontinued. Please visit the Intel® Edison Module homepage for alternative solutions."

 Any how..... I came across a bit of info that said that Google was now developing an IoT program within android and the possible hardware includes Raspberry Pi and the EDISON!!

This has given me reason to dust it off and give it a go! Updates to follow!
