Intel Edison IoT Edition and XDK IDE with node.js

I went to use the Intel XDK IDE with node.js and noticed all the samples and templates assume that you are connected to a Arduino Breakout Board. I am not connected to a Arduino Breakout Board, I am using Sparkfuns GPIO block. When I run any of the sample apps, I get the following error:

ERROR: Failed to write to export
Intel Edison Failed to initialise Arduino board TriState,
check i2c devices! FATAL

Is it possible to use the Intel XDK to develop node.js apps for the Edison without the using the Arduino Breakout Board? If so, how? If not, can you use Eclipse or any other IDE to do so?
