Comments: Edison Getting Started Guide

** -------------------- Tech Support TS/Troubleshooting/Common Issues --------------------**

If you see this error similar to this, it's probably because you are not using the Arduino IDE designed to work with the Intel Edison:

Build options changed, rebuilding all
i586-poky-linux-g++: error: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\build7376211965894244571.tmp/core.a: No such file or directory
Error compiling.

Try downloading the correct Arduino IDE. The link to the Arduino IDE for the Edison has changed on Intel's site. You can find the downloads here => https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24357/Intel-Edison-software-package-1-0-4 and https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/arduino-ide-v160-for-intel-galileo-and-intel-edison-boards

Probably a noob mistake, and I found the solution pretty quickly on the Intel forums: If you get a compile error in the arduino IDE when you try to load your first program from a Windows system, make sure you've installed the arduino IDE on a filepath without spaces. I just unzipped mine to C:\ and everything cleared up.

It's x86_64 Atom!!! Please, fix your text.

The links on the images for the Edison Breakout and the Edison Mini Breakout are backwards.

The page:

has a link to:

which is 404.
