At the end of July, the Windows 10 operating system was officially released. In addition to desktop and mobile phones, Microsoft's first true IoT operating system Windows 10 Iot also released.
In this year, Microsoft demonstrated the cross-platform application of Windows 10 IoT. At that time, Microsoft staff said in "pretending to be Has passenger", the same version of Windows 10 kernel architecture is the same. Hardware can use unified drivers, APIs, and interfaces. In this way, as long as the user's computer, mobile phone, smart device is used by Windows 10 platform, developers developed Windows applications can perfect cross-platform applications. The development of the program does not have any changes, you can install the trouble of application transplantation on various smart devices using Windows 10. At the same time, intelligent hardware devices naturally achieve interconnection.
When Microsoft Win10 public beta, "pretending to be Easel" installed the IoT version on the Raspberry Pension 2, when debugging this version, walked a lot of detours. After the official version of the Win10 IoT system, "pretend to be generous" also downloaded and installed the official version of the Win10 IoT system.
The Raspberry Part 2 is the upgraded version of the upgrade version of the upgrade version of the 2015 Spring Festival. Compared with the previous generation of Raspberry Party, the processor is upgraded from the original BoTong single core ARM11 architecture BCM2835 to the quad-core Cortex-A7 architecture BCM2836, the main frequency 700MHz is upgraded to 900 MHz. The memory is raised from 512MB to 1GB. Because it is an open source hardware, there are many options when purchasing Raspberry Pavilion 2, and the Raspberry Part 2 that preemptively uses the use of the European e-age, produced by British.
First two different versions of the main interface screenshot:
The first is the main interface of the beta version, version number is 10.0.0152
The second is the main interface of the official version, version number is 10.0.0240
The main difference between the interface is that the official version has added a multi-language choice and official tutorial.
Compared with the beta, the official version of the Windows 10 IoT system is added to add, and the installation interface is changed directly from the DOS command to the pattern interface. The installation is to prepare a TF card (Micro SD card) that capacity at least 8GB.
After the system is installed, the 8GB TF card capacity becomes 64MB. You can see the installer partition the card through the disk management software. Only the first 64MB partition in the four partitions is assigned a disk, so you can only see a partition under Windows.
After the system disk is ready, this TF card is inserted on the TF slot of the Raspberry 2, connects the network cable, HDMI line, USB wired or wireless mouse (you can also plug in the USB keyboard), after the 5V2A power is connected, the system Start smoothly.
After the system is started, the Windows IoT Core Watcher monitoring and application deployment procedures in the computer Windows 10 system will detect the system of the Raspberry Piva has started parallel.
The Windows 10 IoT system can be set via the PowerShell program.
It is also possible to face the hardware system through the Web Management Unit.
Windows 10 IoT official version provides a detailed tutorial, easy to get started through tutorial programmers.
It is worth noting that it is necessary to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 to develop set products for Windows 10 IoT development programs. If used in commercial occasions, this development set is not free. If you just use it to learn, you can use the free Community version.
Windows 10 IoT official version comes with a Blink flash DEMO program, after the start button at the main interface, the green LED on the Raspberry 2 flashes according to the set time interval.
According to "pretending is the gentle guest", wireless network card or Bluetooth can also be used on Windows 10 Io to get rid of the network cable. But so far, this system only supports the USB wireless network card of Broadcom BCM43143 on the Raspberry Pie, which is basically purchased abroad. On Intel Minnowboard Max, Windows 10 IoT supports a variety of common chips USB wireless network cards, but because the price of Minnowboard max development board is more expensive, the penetration rate in China is not high.
"Pretending is the generous", it is considered that a trade-off is to use a wireless router with an AP function, which can give Windows 10 Iorating the troubles of the network cable to a certain extent. Now many tens of wireless routers have an AP function, using "WiReless Repeater" in the router, the wireless routing of the configured AP function is connected to the Raspberry Part 2 through the network cable, so far Wide network.
In the Internet of Things era, Microsoft hopes to extend business to the Internet of Things and other intelligent hardware. According to "pretending is the generous", the current Windows 10 IoT supports three series of hardware devices, which are Raspberry Pie 2, Intel's Minnowboard Max and Galileo X86 platform, Arduino. Other hardware is not supported. Among them, the Arduino product popular in the field of Wucker's domain, Microsoft is two ways to open the Windows Runtime component library and Windows Virtual Shields for Arduino through Windows Remote Arduino and Windows Virtual Shields For Arduino open source library, so that Caveruses achieve control and development of Arduino.
From now on, the hardware platform supported by Microsoft IoT is relatively small. Compared with the Google Camp, there are still many jobs to do in Microsoft.
