Intel® IoT Developer Kit is a complete solution for creating IoT applications for the Intel® Galileo and Intel® Edison boards. It is mainly comprised of:
Hardware components: The hardware components refer to the development board (Intel® Galileo Gen 1, Intel® Galileo Gen 2, and Intel® Edison), sensors, and actuators.
Software image: The Galileo IoT Developer Kit image is a Yocto-embedded Linux-based operating system. It's a bootable image that also includes some of the available Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, but unlike the image we used earlier, it supports a wide range of Linux tools such as the GCC toolchain (http://elinux.org/Toolchains) and libraries such as MRAA (https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa) and UPM (https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm). This image also supports the Git-distributed version control system (https://git-scm.com/), making it possible to push and pull your code to or from online repositories such as GitHub (https://github.com)....
