Executive Summary
The purpose of this project is to explore the Intel Edison and how it correlates to the Beaglebone. As features and weaknesses are discovered, the Edison will be used to create a simple project (similar to those that others are performing) that highlights its strengths.
The Edison can be started and the initial system can be configured.
However, the Edison has GPIO pins that perform on 1.8V logic, making it difficult to find devices that respond to this logic. In other words, the Edison's 1.8V logical high is not enough to trigger a logical high on a 5V ADC.
While setting up the Edison and comparing it to a Beaglebone will be do-able, I expect that making a simple project will be a challenge due to the logic levels of the Edison.
Packaging
If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.
Installation Instructions
Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.
- Include your github path as a link like this to the read-only git site: https://github.com/MarkAYoder/gitLearn.
- Be sure your README.md is includes an up-to-date and clear description of your project so that someone who comes across you git repository can quickly learn what you did and how they can reproduce it.
- Include a Makefile for you code.
- Include any additional packages installed via opkg.
- Include kernel mods.
- If there is extra hardware needed, include links to where it can be obtained.
User Instructions
Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.
Highlights
Here is where you brag about what your project can do.
Include a YouTube demo.
Theory of Operation
Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.
Work Breakdown
List the major tasks in your project and who did what.
Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.
Future Work
