The paper presents possibilities of Intel Joule 570x development board in teaching programming in Python and becoming familiar with basics of electronics. The main emphasis was placed on the knowledge of using operation system Linux Ostro and also practical using sensors and components from dedicate DFRobot started kit Gravity Expansion Shield for Joule V1.0. The evaluation of the usefulness and possibilities of the Intel Joule 570x Developer Kit was carried out on the generally available materials and sample programs shared on producer web page. In order to experimentally evaluate the development board under consideration, an electronic system was developed as the control object for the Intel Joule 570x board.
