Genuino 101

The Genuino 101 is a learning and development board that delivers the performance and low-power consumption of the Intel® Curie module with the simplicity of Arduino at an entry-level price. This development platform keeps the same robust form factor and peripheral list of the UNO with the addition of onboard Bluetooth LE capabilities and a 6-axis accelerometer/gyro to help you easily expand your creativity into the connected world.

The Intel® Curie module contains two tiny cores, an x86 (Quark) and a 32-bit ARC architecture core, both clocked at 32MHz. The Intel toolchain compiles your Arduino sketches optimally across both cores to accomplish the most demanding tasks. The Genuino 101 comes with 14 digital input/output pins (of which 4 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a USB connector for serial communication and sketch upload, a power jack, an ICSP header with SPI signals and I2C dedicated pins. The board operating voltage and I/O is 3.3V but all pins are protected against 5V overvoltage.

Note: The Genuino 101 is only available for customers in the countries detailed on [this list](https://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Dev/Arduino/Boards/Genuino101-ATLASEDGE3 countries.pdf). If you are located in the United States be sure to check out the Arduino 101 instead. Sorry, world!

Note: The Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and framework developed by Intel is scheduled to be open sourced in March 2016. Until then, it's not possible to interface with it directly; only the Arduino core can do it via static mailboxes.

Genuino 101 Product Help and Resources

Core Skill: Programming

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.

2 Programming

Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

2 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

    Can this be ship to Singapore ?

    I understand why you (SparkFun) are carrying the Genuino line. (A customer is a customer no matter where on the planet they are with today's global economy). I just hope everyone can get a chuckle out of the irony of importing a product that can only be exported... Are you even "allowed" to power them on for quality control, because that could be construed as "using" it?

    • M-Short / about 8 years ago / 1

      Oddly enough I believe we are getting these from Intel and not importing them. I do not believe we are "allowed" to power them, but we don't have to deal with any quality control stuff on our end (even with a bad board we rarely get something like this back internationally because of shipping costs). On the other hand I don't know how Intel does it.
