The hardware
Popular IoT development boards include Arduino, Beagle Board, Pinocchio, Raspberry Pi, and Cubieboard, among others. These development boards are used for prototyping IoT solutions. They include microcontrollers (MCUs), which serve as the brains of the device, provide memory, and a number of both digital and analog General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins. These boards can be modularly stacked with other boards to provide communication capabilities, new sensors, sactuators, and so on to form a complete IoT device.
MCUs well suited for IoT development come from ARM, Intel, Broadcom, Atmel, Texas Instruments (TI), Freescale, and Microchip Technology, among others. MCUs are Integrated Circuits (ICs) that contain a processor, Read-Only ...
