My target is to control 2 motor using using PWM method, can you guys help me how the connection will be ?(Sorry really newbie)

Here is the device detail:

Hello! Here is a great read on how to get started with hooking up your mini breakout board: http://blog.microcasts.tv/2014/10/16/edison-mini-breakout-the-real-getting-started-guide/

and what is the best platform to program Intel Edison if I used WINDOWS ....

The Intel XDK (for Javascript) or Eclipse (for C/C++) (https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/downloads) of course! 

Once you have downloaded them check out MRAA (https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa) and UPM (https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/upm)  Github repos to see how to communicate with the GPIO pins and examples for PWM. 

Hope this helps!

Thanks Ashish!

On more specific questions regarding the electronics you probably better ask on  https://communities.intel.com/community/makers

Just realized you started a discussion on this topic on makers community anyways. So I'd suggest we leave this thread here and on any follow up to happen on makers community site?
