That was Intel Quark.
That was Intel Quark. It was too expensive for the “big microcontroller” use case and too power hungry for the “small Linux” use case. The marketing was confusing, I’m not sure Intel even knew what it was for, except to show investors they had an IoT play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark I found some of these boards in a box last year and was unable to do anything with them… Intel has thoroughly erased all documentation and SDKs from the internet. If anyone has those artifacts, please push to archive.org
