$15 Quark D2000 dev kit targets low-power IoT

The $15 Quark Microcontroller Developer Kit D2000 is probably the lowest-cost computer that Intel has ever made. Along with the very low-power D2000 MCU, the card has Arduino-Uno-compatible SIL sockets, booster-pack-compatible SIL headers, and a six-axis accelerometer and magnetometer with temperature sensor. It also has a USB debug port.

The Quark 32-bit microcontroller D2000 has an x86 core running at 32 MHz, with 32 Kbytes of flash and 8 Kbytes of SRAM. Total MCU power required is 26.4 mW typical; 2.3 mW in standby. It has two timers and two PWMs, a 19-channel 12-bit A/D converter, 19 analog comparators, and two DMA channels. It runs on 2.0 to 3.6 V. Developer kit D2000 $14.95, available now from distribution.
