“Intel’s flirtation with the maker community appears to have fizzled out, although the chip giant insists its passion remains. After announcing plans to axe its Edison, Galileo, and Joule compute modules later this year, Chipzilla has said it will stop making its Arduino 101 board and its much-hyped Curie module, too. The Arduino 101 will be available for order until September 17, 2017, according to Intel, and the processor giant will continue to fulfill orders, if any, through December 17, 2017. The Curie module will be available until January 17, 2018, and fulfillment will continue until July 17, 2018. Intel will no longer update its Curie Open Developer Kit. It plans to leave its community forum for Curie products open until September 15, 2017. After that, the forum enters review-only maintenance mode until June 15, 2020. Intel’s GitHub repo, which contains a variety of code related to other projects too, should continue to be available. Intel says it’s trying to find another manufacturer for the Arduino board. In an statement emailed to The Register, a spokesperson said: “Intel remains an enthusiastic supporter of the maker community and maker mindset. We will continue to support tomorrow’s makers through education and community outreach programs such as Maker Share.” Intel just won’t be making the hardware.”
