Shield pin configuration
1 Introduction
This document describes the hardware interface of the Intel® Edison kit for Arduino*.
The kit contains external input/output pin connections which may be configured to be used in a variety of
interfacing modes, such as GPIO, PWM, SPI, I
2
C, ADC, for compatibility with Arduino* Uno* shield hardware. This
document describes the pin functions available, detailed GPIO pin mapping for pin control and I/O, and use of
Linux command line tools to configure the external I/O pin functions correctly for the desired mode of operation.
