The Genuino 101 is a learning and development board powered by the Intel Curie module, combining the simplicity of the Arduino platform with onboard Bluetooth Low Energy and a 6-axis accelerometer/gyro. It maintains the familiar UNO form factor and peripheral layout while adding connected-world capabilities at an entry-level price.
The Intel Curie module contains two cores — an x86 (Quark) and a 32-bit ARC architecture core — both clocked at 32 MHz. The Intel toolchain compiles Arduino sketches across both cores for optimal performance. All I/O pins operate at 3.3 V but are protected against 5 V overvoltage.
