- Plug both micro USB cables from Edison Dev board into linux pc, no power wall wart needed
- open a terminal and type sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
- reset edison using reset button
- keep hitting a key until stop boot at a boot prompt
- type run do_flash
Here are a few notes about interesting dev boards I have used for "Internet of Things (IoT)" projects.
The ESP8266 was developed as a wifi board, but its integrated micro controller makes it an interesting platform for lots of uses. By adding the Arduino Core you can program it using the Arduino environment. I have used ESP8266 on a number of projects successfully. It is a bit power hungry because of the wifi, but it has support for sleep mode between sensor readings and broadcasts that can prolong battery life. If the IoT device is connected to power then this is an easy choice, as it is so low cost, and wifi makes it easy to push data to a server.

;; to add a link to ithoughtsX mindmap file | |
;; main purpose is capability to automatically create the file if it doesn't exist | |
;; also adds file extension to name as I never remember the extension correctly | |
;; mapped to a hyperkey based key mapping (I remapped my long-press tab as a hyperkey) | |

# qlmanager is used to open quicklook view of a file from command line. | |
# see http://www.quicklookplugins.com/ for more plugins | |
# an alias to create a simple command to olen a quicklook view in background, showing no terminal messages | |
alias ql='function _qlfunc(){ qlmanage -p $@ >/dev/null 2>&1 &};_qlfunc' | |
# I use this to save png files using qlmanager into an images directory inside my org-mode notes dir. | |
# I use a lisp function that calles this comand when org-links are added to notes so I get a nice embedded png view | |
# of the file being linked to. Requires plugin for file type that creates png's | |
# I use for mindmaps, stl files, etc so canshow quicklook inside emacs org-mode for linked files |
