Microsoft rebranded "Windows Embedded" to "Windows IoT" starting with the release of embedded editions of Windows 10. In April 2018, Microsoft released Azure Sphere, another operating system designed for IoT applications running on the Linux kernel. Windows Embedded operating systems are available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who make it available to end users preloaded with their hardware, in addition to volume license customers in some cases. Microsoft currently has three different subfamilies of operating systems for embedded devices targeting a wide market, ranging from small-footprint, real-time devices to point of sale (POS) devices like kiosks. Windows IoT, formerly Windows Embedded, is a family of operating systems from Microsoft designed for use in embedded systems. IoT: Mainstream support to at least 2027 and extended 2032 com /en-us /windows /iotĮmbedded: All editions out of mainstream support at least, while some with extended support to October 2023. Source-available (through Shared Source Initiative)ĭeveloper.What follows is what I did in the end to get things running. A series of MS blogs also gave me a bit better understanding of their usage: this, this, and this. It pointed me towards investigating VHD and dism. This post from a year and a half ago gave me another view as it goes over running IoT Core in VMWare.


But, between using some tool from the XNA developer forums and glossing over several details I started looking for other sources. This blog post seems to be referenced numerous places as the reference to get an x86/圆4 ISO of IoT Core running in a VM. The hardware compatibility list deserves special mention here because there is far more RaspPi accessories available than are actually supported by Win10.įor various reasons I'm not going to have hardware for over a month, so I'm trying to give things a whirl via virtualbox. Since the rest of our platform is running on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (aka Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB), I thought I'd give IoT Core a look in the hopes that almost no porting would be required. Recently been looking at using a Raspberry Pi 3 for a modestly work-related project.
