IO Development Boards

A development board is a circuit board that includes a specific microprocessor, the stripped-down hardware components required to support its use, and little else. Though there’s rarely a user interface, these IoT devices are designed to provide engineers the means to quickly prototype and test software for a particular IoT solution. 

IoT development boards could be used to test an automation of some kind – a system to water crops on a schedule, for example, or to turn an industrial facility’s HVAC system on and off at specific times. Development boards can also be helpful when an IoT engineer needs to ensure functionality in a more extreme environment – i.e. when heat or cold, or humidity is potentially hazardous.
