I have my doubts on the future of the Edison. I was going to use it in a project but ended up giving up and switching to ARM after so many bugs went unresolved across multiple platform releases. The power consumption vs performance is incredible, but it just feels like they're not taking it seriously beyond single quantity orders for individual makers

That or an article linked in a side bar said they were still chasing the IoT.

Edison is based on Atom?

The Edison has both an Atom running Linux and a Quark running an RTOS

No, the Quark SoCs are 486ish cores, not Atom.
