Any Windows IoT Core update for Raspberry pi 4?
- About to start a project need power of raspberry PI 4, when would IoT Core be available or do I need to move it to Linux/python?
it's not happening.
if we want to use the raspberry pi 4 for IoT and physical computing, we are going to have to use Rasbian Buster, code in Python, and use a web based UI (even if we intend to install a local display on our device.) that will send you down a path that will at least have long term support.
.net core / xamarain for linux to run apps on Rasbian seems like something that might have dubious support / path forward in just a few short years.
Microsoft is a huge self promoter . if they were planning anything with raspberry Pi 4 they would have been telling us so for the last 6 months.
not trying to be disrespectful in this posts, just realistic
ODwyerPW, I have an updated response from the product team, which is a bit more hopeful.
You can find the Windows 10 IoT Core open source BSP for RPi2, RPi3, Pi3 Compute Module, and RP3B+ here (https://github.com/ms-iot/rpi-iotcore) for your use. If you are interested in expanding and supporting the RPi3B+ and/or Pi4, we would like to invite you (and the rest of the community) to do so in the open source rpi-iotcore repo! We continue to monitor GitHub and StackOverflow and are happy to help community development.
Additionally, we offer 10 years of support with Windows 10 IoT Core Services. You may use the open source BSP for Raspberry Pi, commercial BSPs supported by Intel and Qualcomm, or the recently released open source NXP BSP (https://www.nxp.com/design/software/embedded-software/windows-10-iot-core-for-i.mx-applications-proc...), for which NXP offers commercial support as well.
John Spears,
Awesome! I'm free to port your Windows 10 IoT Core Operating System to the Raspberry Pi 4. I'd just have to figure out the graphics drivers for the gpu, usb, touchscreen, wifi and bluetooth that you all didn't for the 3B+ .
Hey thanks for the vote of confidence that I'm talented enough fix your OS and then move on to using your software, technologies, standards to develop my actual app.
Oh, I feel the hope. 🙂
Ok, so let's say that our favorite platform is dead in the water now... what are the alternatives? I'm not "that" attached to Raspberry but having not other option is what's really making me wondering for the foreseeable future.
I've been looking round to find something similar and I haven't found anything useful. Have you been more successful?
