Intel sites for embedded computing

Intel came into us yesterday for an overview and roadmap presentation. We work a lot with Intel and I found this extremely useful. It is interesting to see what upcoming products they have and the support they have in place for helping with current products.

Two very helpful websites are ark.intel.com and edc.intel.com. The Ark site is helpful for translating codes on their devices into specific data relating to the device itself. IF for example you are working on a project with an as of yet unreleased Intel device with a specific codename and then it is released into production, this codename will no longer be used. But using Ark you can find out the exact details regarding this product.

edc.intel.com is the Embedded Design Center for Intel and it contains a number of blogs, forums and access to a wide range of technical datasheets and information regarding the use of their products and what they support.
