The Intel® Edison development platform is designed to lower the barriers to entry for a range of inventors, entrepreneurs, and consumer product designers to rapidly prototype and produce “Internet of Things” (IoT) and wearable computing products.
The Intel® Edison breakout board is designed to expose the native 1.8V I/O of the Intel® Edison module. The board consists of power supply, battery charger, USB OTG power switch, UART to USB bridge, USB OTG port, and I/O header.

Power Supply
Intel® Edison is a low-power device. In general, it does not draw more than 200mA with 600mA short duration spikes during Wi-Fi transmit. Therefore, an Intel® Edison device may run on USB power (when configured as a device), or an external power adapter from 7 to 15V.
Handling
When attaching an Intel® Edison module to breakout board, handle the Intel® Edison module by the PCB edges. Avoid holding or exerting pressure to the shields. To mate the Intel® Edison board to the breakout board, apply pressure directly above the connector and to the left corner.
