Introduction
OverView
Iduino Yun is a ideal IoT device for Internet of Things projetcs. It is a compatible / replacement product for Arduino Yun. It works with Arduino IDE with version higher than 1.5.4.
The Iduino Yun is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega32u4 and the Atheros AR9331. The Atheros processor supports a Linux distribution based on OpenWrt named OpenWrt-Yun. The board has built-in Ethernet and WiFi support, a USB-A port, micro-SD card slot, 20 digital input/output pins (of which 7 can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a micro USB connection, an ICSP header, and a 3 reset buttons.
The Iduino Yun is similar to the Arduino Leonardo in that the ATmega32u4 has built-in USB communication, eliminating the need for a secondary processor. This allows the Yun to appear to a connected computer as a mouse and keyboard, in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial / COM port.
The Bridge library facilitates communication between the two processors, giving Arduino sketches the ability to run shell scripts, communicate with network interfaces, and receive information from the AR9331 processor. The USB host, network interfaces and SD card are not connected to the 32U4, but the AR9331, and the Bridge library also enables the Arduino to interface with those peripherals.

Quick Start of Iduino Yun
This chapter shows how to run the first sketch of Iduino Yun.
Connect to Iduino Yun
Power on Iduino Yun, after the system runs, it will generate a WiFi network with SSID : I duino-A84041XXXXXX.
Use your PC to connect to this unsecure WiFi netowrk. Your PC will get DHCP from Yun. Your PC will get an IP 192.168.240.x and the Iduino Yun will have the IP 192.168.240.1
Open Arduino IDE and configure right Profile
Open Arduino IDE and choose the profile Tools --> Boards --> Arduino Yun. Choose the ports to "Iduino at 192.168.240.1"
Run Bridge example
In Arduino IDE, Select example File-->Examples-->Bridge-->Bridge . Click Upload , Arduino IDE will compile this example and upload to Yun. During the upload, Arduino IDE will pop up a window for asking the password. type password iduino here. and continue upload.
