Windows 10 IOT

HI Sean,

I am working on document that dictates the process for doing this for the MaaXBoard. I am hoping to have it available soon.

Hi Josh

Thanks for that, we have ordered a couple of boards today and hope that it will be a good replacement for the Raspberry pi.

Cheers

Hi Sean,

Great to hear! For my own curosity, mind me asking why the interest in Win10 IOT core vs a linux based distro?

Hi Josh

We have been developing UWP apps in C# for Windows IOT for a few years now and want to move to a platform that is better supported in the future, seems Microsoft has given up on the newer Raspberry pi boards.

NXP seem to be supporting BSP's for i.MX 6, i.MX 7, and i.MX 8M family boards.

Windows IOT allows us to launch a single application in a controlled Kiosk mode as such, without having to go for Windows 10 IOT Enterprise.

Hi Josh

We received the two boards we ordered today, great turn around seeing a lot of deliveries are delayed.due to the coronavirus.

Nice little board and Booted up Linux image with no issues.

Do you have a time line on when a FFU will be available for Windows IOT?

I do not want to hassle you but is it likely to be weeks or months?

Thanks

Sean

Hi Sean,

I just finished reviewing the win 10 document successfully. Just waiting on approval for posting. Should be available by end of next week!

Hi Sean,

I received approval for posting over the weekend. It will be posted on E14 by EOW.

In the mean time you can get it from here if you wish to get started sooner https://avtinc.sharepoint.com/:b:/t/ET-Downloads/EZy9kZdstDNCkt_9_mdgHawBDlQdJZWbNFmnd0F4ArsX5Q

Thanks!

Hi Josh

Brilliant work !

Will download it tonight and take a look, hopefully I should find some time tomorrow to try it out and will get back to you.

Best regards

Sean

Hi Josh

Well that was not too bad and VS created FFU with no errors.

Sorry to say though that it does not boot.

Burnt FFU onto SD card using Windows Dashboard.

All partitions created as expected.

Place the SD card into the Maaxboard and power up, green LED flashes once and then nothing

Do you guys have a FFU that has already been created that I can test?

Best regards

Sean
