Ease of Design

The availability of a comprehensive range of off-the-shelf solutions from members of the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance simplifies the task of finding right board-level solutions for embedded products.

Intel and its embedded ecosystem provide an extensive set of software development tools and open source software libraries and utilities. The result is an easier hardware design effort, a quicker software development cycle, and a faster time-to-market.

Intel’s industry-leading seven year extended lifecycle support protects your system investment.

Quick prototyping with the Intel® Embedded Design Center

Intel is providing embedded developers with technical design-in resources and tools never before available online. Look to the Intel® Embedded Design Center (Intel® EDC) for application reference designs, VirtuaLabs*, hardware platform collateral, online technical support, training, and community resources.  

For developers new to Intel® architecture, the Intel® EDC provides step-by-step guidance needed to explore and evaluate Intel® embedded platforms and take your embedded solutions to the design stage.

Many programmers are familiar with software developed for Intel® architecture, including widely used embedded operating systems. The Intel® EDC provides streamlined access to software development resources including open source software, development tools, downloadable drivers, BIOS, firmware, online training, and collateral.

In addition to software development tools from Intel and ecosystem companies, Intel® EDC provides qualifying developers with access to Intel’s Tool Loaner Program.
