In Connecting to Intel® Edison from Android* with Bluetooth* LE (BLE) describes a way to access BT via Arduino code but additional BT shield/kit is required.

And second, it provides an Arduino-compatible hardware platform, meaning we can use standard Arduino shields with the Intel® Edison board.

Intel’s Edison embedded computing development platform which includes a board for Arduino is now being sold by RS Components. Intel Edison board for Arduino The Intel Edison module is built around a ...

In 2014, Intel and Arduino released the Edison, a tiny, tiny board designed for the embedded market and entrepreneurs.

Edison launched with an Arduino breakout board, but the Arduino compatibility is literally only a facade. Intel reengineered the Arduino IDE so it writes files instead of toggling pins.

The Intel Edison module retails for around $50 with breakout board kits available as well as an Arduino kit priced at $60 and $85 respectively.

This includes the full Joule range, less than a year after it was launched, though selected Edison modules - not counting the Edison Kit for Arduino and Edison Breakout Board Kit, the two ...

Hardware enthusiasts who want to start tinkering with Intel's tiny Curie chip will be able to get their hands on it early next year in the form of an Arduino development board ...
