flashing your edison
Use the installer
Use the image on the USB / S3
Use the image on the USB / S3
Press "Down" to view videos of each flashing process.
All downloads are on the USB or in S3
Flashing on OSX
Partition using Disk Utility, copy the files to Edison, start a serial connection, , use login "root," do "reboot ota" and wait. Download the image here.
Flashing on Linux
Copy the files to Edison, start a serial connection, use login "root," do "reboot ota." Download the image here.
$ sudo apt-get install screen
$ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200Flashing on Windows
Run the installer, select the "update image" option when it comes up. Download the Windows installer here.
Skip the Arduino Software install (uncheck the box).

Serial connections
Download PuTTy
Use "screen" utility
Use "screen" utility
Press "Down" to view videos showing how to establish serial connections on each OS.
serial connection on osx
Open terminal, type 'screen /dev/usbs' then hit Tab to autocomplete, add '115200 -L' and hit Enter twice at blank screen
serial connection on Linux
$ sudo apt-get install screen
$ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200Install 'screen,' use "/dev/ttyUSB0 115200" and hit Enter twice at blank screen
serial connection on Windows
Download PuTTy, select 'serial,' set baud rate to 115200, use Device Manager to find your COM port, hit Enter twice at blank screen
Run "configure edison"
$ configure_edison --setupInitiate a Serial connection, use default login "root"
Name your Edison, set a password, get your Edison online!
Gotchas
- Some USB cables don't allow serial data
- PC and Edison must be on the same network
- Network must have no HTML login page
- Check if you are online using "ping www.google.com"
- Make sure both Micro-USB are plugged in

assemble maraca
Plug the sensors into the following: D3: LED, D6: Buzzer, D7: Button, Any I2C: Accelerometer. Jumper 9 should be set to "Top," the voltage switch should be set to 3.3v
Deploy Maraca code
Download the Maraca project, update the keys.cpp file, import the three included libraries, deploy the code to your Intel Edison. Click "Down" for more AWS instructions.
Generate a keypair
Browse to EC2 > Key Pairs, Create a keypair and name it whatever you like
Important: Select US West (Oregon) from the upper-right hand drop-down
Launch aWS Stack on cloud formation
Open "Cloud Formation," Use the new keypair, import the provided JSON template.
Your key information will appear under the "Output" tab after setup.
