  ok, so that tells me it's at least available, so i should be able to
track it down online around here somewhere. good to know. now if
anyone in canada wants to weigh in and point me at the best source for
one of these things, that would be great.

  BTW, i notice that's the basic board, while this:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/iotdevkit

seems a bit more bundled. does anyone know if there is any significant
difference?

  as i mentioned earlier, a client wants a drivers course based on
this processor, so i'd also want the ability to possibly order a bunch
of them for the students as class time approaches (whenever that is).
