I had completely forgotten about Intel Quark SoCs and MCUs found in development kits and modules such as the Arduino 101 board or Intel Curie module. Last time I heard about those chips, Intel had just discontinued several boards including the two aforementioned products, and I just assumed the Quark chips had quietly reached end-of-life as well.
But actually those will still be available for a bit longer, with Intel having just issued a product change notification for the discontinuance & end of life of the following parts:
- Intel Quark SoC X1020D
- Intel Quark SoC X1000
- Intel Quark SoC X1010
- Intel Quark SoC X1021D
- Intel Quark SoC X1001
- Intel Quark SoC X1011
- Intel Quark SoC X1020
- Intel Quark SoC X1021
- Intel Quark Microcontroller D1000
- Intel Quark Microcontroller D2000
- Intel Quark SE C1000 Microcontroller
- Intel Quark Microcontroller D2000
- Intel Quark SE C1000 Microcontroller
In case you have a product based one of those SKUs, you can still order until July 19, 2019, and the last shipment is scheduled to occur on July 17, 2022.
