The Edison is a great piece of hardware completely hamstrung by the idiotic yocto linux distribution and tool chain. Despite being "x86" it's near impossible to add custom drivers or rebuild the OS. What's the point of being "x86" if you can't make use of the ecosystem? The Rpi has much better support. Don't waste your time. Intel isn't serious about these products, can't be bothered to actually support them, and won't open them up for use outside of their walled garden.
