Intel announced today that its Intel Edison compute module is one of the first platforms to support Brillo, which Google released source code for today via an invitation program.
Brillo and Weave form a solution for building connected devices. Incorporating aspects of the Android platform, Brillo brings security, local and inter-device service compatibility, and a modular approach to building system components.
Sitting on top of Brillo, Weave is an open communications protocol that supports discovery, provisioning, and authentication so that devices can connect and interact with one another, the Internet, and your mobile platforms.
Verified functionality of Brillo with the Intel Edison module now results in a versatile and secure IoT platform for scaling your projects beyond proofs of concept. The built-in and pre-certified connectivity of the Intel Edison module, as well as the small form factor, open the door for new products and services that seamlessly connect with other devices.
Newegg will be offering a Brillo-compliant solution built upon the Intel Edison kit for Arduino. Intel expects to support Brillo on additional SoCs (system-on-chip) and IoT maker boards in the future.
