From InfoWorld: At $15, the Quark Microcontroller Developer Kit D2000 is perhaps the least expensive computer Intel has ever shipped.
The single-board computer has all the components mashed onto a tiny circuit board. It can be used to develop gadgets, wearables, home automation products, industrial equipment and other Internet of Things products.
Developers could also use the computer to hook up sensors for temperature, light, sound, weather and distance to devices.
The developer board is now available from Mouser Electronics. It will also be available from Avnet, according to Intel.
Intel is targeting companies developing IoT devices and the community of do-it-yourself hardware makers with the new board. These boards typically provide a cheap way to prototype electronics or to make fun devices. Intel is following Atmel, SparkFun, and other vendors that develop inexpensive boards.
