You're quote, and the rest of the thread specifically addresses the Arduino 101. The representative doesn't address this part of the question "tinyTile descriptions says it's possible, but in schematics there is no charging circuitry connection even after moving resistor R15 to R17 as advised". So... it's still possible? Also, the boards are perhaps designed to train students, and encourage professionals to use x86 embedded. When you say, "likely to be used," I think you're talking about hobbyists, or students who wish their projects stand up to more than one or two demonstration uses, or even none, as long as it gets a decent grade. Raspberry Pi's are generally better for this, and while perhaps not very robust, their price makes them more replaceable. I think Intel may be short sighted- but it wasn't too long ago that single board computers were strictly for developers, not hobbyists, and their price tag reflected this.</p>

Here is a demo using the Arduino101 but it also works for the tinytile, as they are essentially the same device</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS9G5VQ8Y4I</p></p>

The fact that sparkfun lists it as a feature is misleading to say the least.</p>

According to this thread: "The reason why the battery charging feature was not implemented on the Arduino 101 is because the standard Arduino I/O pin layout does not have the provision for a battery charger. External hardware is needed for multiplexing the charger interface to the standard I/O pin."<p>This module is so, so close to the perfect IoT/wearable sensor with on-board pattern rec, BLE, and motion sensors but ultimately misses the mark. It would have been simple to break out the necessary pins for charging a small lipo battery. The really frustrating thing is that the reason the battery charging circuitry was left off the board shows that the designers have a basic misunderstanding of how the board would likely be used.</p><p>https://communities.intel.com/thread/112898</p></p>
