  1. Intel Joule 570x unboxing
  2.  
  3. Times:
  4. Flashing BIOS in Linux: 1,5h
  5. Installing OS, Ubuntu 16.04: 3h (didn't work so took lots time)
  6. Flashing BIOS in Win: 15min
  7. Installing OS, Reference Linux: not much
  8.  
  9.  
  10. - Article “Installing a Heat Sink or Fan” was found in support-side, but not in “Intel Joule Module User Guide”-sides, not even a link to it. Despite of that this article is good while it is visual and has good instruction.
  11.  
  12. - In the “User Guide”-sides there was good introduction to Windows. Also good and visual! While flashing BIOS to Linux there are some different files than is needed to Windows so it might be good to tell witch and how to modify them. One good example this is a project in git-hub: intel-joule-bios-flash-linux.
  13.  
  14. - With Linux OS while Joule is connected to PC with USB, there is problem with flash.sh. Command “dldrcli” is not found. Some help at this place would be good at “User Guide”-sides.
  15. - We made profile-file and paths to it.
  16.  
  17. - There is a broken link in the “Material Requirements” -side. The link was about updating OS.
  18.  
  19. - Booting-introduction is clear and visual, thats good!
  20.  
  21. - There were problems with Ubuntu 16.04 setup. We had problem with partitions. Finally we didn't get Ubuntu into Joule.
  22.  
  23. After update, 23.3.:
  24.  
  25. - Some great things have appeared! For example the “Expansion PCD Dimensions” are nice to know in the web sides here, even they probably are in the data sheet.
  26.  
  27. - Some comments about data sheet, “Intel Joule Module”:
  28. - Acronyms-page is nice bonus, which is not in all data sheets I have read.
  29. - There was not dimension information like in “Expansion PCD Dimensions”-side. (I found the “Intel Joule Module, Development Kit Hardware Guide” later and this included this kind of information among other. This document could have been presented earlier in the same with the data sheet: “Development Kit Overview”-page. )
  30.  
  31. - There were heat sink and USB c-type cable in the Joule's box. Some maybe quite essential parts could maybe be with also, like power supply or micro SD-adapter. Missing hardware parts for different situations are now clearly presented in side “Domain Features”. There could be more information about their types, like what kind of SD-card or HDMI-cable is needed. (I founded them later in side “Platform Setup”.)
  32.  
  33. - 3D-printmodel was given to mounting fan to platform. That is good, printers are nowadays quite generally used. More 3D-printmodels to covering platform and modules or airing could be gathered in same place somewhere in Intel's sides.
  34.  
  35. - After the update there is a guide to expand the legs to PCB. This is very simple and intuitive task but it is good to have guide for everything you have to do because some people don't do things if they do not have guide for it.
  36.  
  37. - The list of the task needed on first power on in page “Power on” is good. This can be open and with the links it is easy to go to the right place according to the phase you are at the moment.
  38.  
  39. - While Boot order have been changes there is no way to save the changes even thought the guide says so. The real way is to select Continue in main menu.
  40.  
  41. - Tabs you open in the browser could have different headers. It would easy finding the right tab while you have plenty of tabs open and all have same name “IoT”.
  42.  
  43. - Both Linux and Windows “Serial communication”-pages are easy to follow and have enough information and pictures to been follow well. In the Linux page could read other possible applications in addition to picocom and screen, for example Cu.
