Hello,
I have been working with Arduino Pro Mini and Teensy boards for wearable projects.
However I am currently looking for a small wearable board with a FPU.
Are there alternatives to the Intel Edison ? This board seems really powerful but having to connect everything through the 40-pin connector and the 1.8V I/O are a bit frightening.
Thank you in advance.
[NavSpark could be an alternative.
[AttoDuino is interesting too but it’s not available currently and there’s no contact link to ask its developers when it is.](http://www.attoduino.com/)](http://navspark.mybigcommerce.com/)
Check out Ingenic’s Newton2 platform.
FPU - hardware floating point
I’ve taken this board that has an STM32F415 that has an FPU and used it with other development tools

(the company’s compilers are beyond awful, and over-priced)
and used it with an ST-Link/V2 debugger pod. And IAR or GCC compiler. IAR is free only for the 32KB limited version.
VisualGDB is $90 but is excellent. There are several other IDE choices.
