IoT development boards aim to shorten the prototyping cycle by providing all the necessary hardware components in a single package, documentation, and software examples. This allows developers to quickly assemble prototypes and test their concepts before moving to a custom PCB design. 

IoT development boards allow developers to focus on the software and applications without worrying about designing and building the hardware. They offer a standardized platform so developers can experiment with connecting sensors, actuators, and other devices to the Internet.
