Upgrade Firmware & Library of Arduino 101

Introduction

Arduino 101 is a development board powered by Intel® Curie™ Module, designed to integrate the core's low power-consumption and high performance with the Arduino's ease-of-use, Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities and on-board 6-axis accelerometer/gyroscope.

More information about the technical specifications and documentation can be found on the Arduino/Genuino 101 main page.

This board will provide exciting opportunities for building creative projects in the connected world.

So to avoid bugs and to fully utilize this powerful microcontroller, be sure to update to the latest firmware and libraries.
