We begin,īefore proceeding to prepare the material that will be useful hardware, here's a preview.įigure 3: USB keyboard and mouse (or even in a single USB as in my case)įigure 7: Micro SD card at least eight GB with adapter Version two was released in the spring and is fully compatible with Windows 10 IoT Core. Hardware requiredįor those who do not know what is the Raspberry Pi2, it is a microcomputer, with 4 USB ports, a LAN port, an HDMI more outlets for food and the Mini SD slot.

Lets see how to download, install and configure Windows 10 IoTCore a tab Raspberry Pi2 some more customization to the operating system installed. The next post will look at your options for developing and deploying code to the Pi without having to install Windows 10 locally.In this second article written in collaboration with Piero Sbressa dedicated IoT, and after the introduction found at this link, Pop it in your Pi and check it boots.ĭid these steps work for you? Let me know in the comment box. You should now have an SD card with the Raspberry Pi build of Windows 10 Core without having to download Windows 10 itself. sudo dd bs=1m if=File_WindowsIoTRpi2Flash.img of=/dev/rdiskX We use rdisk as this gives faster write speed to the SD card but it still will take a few minutes. Replace the X in rdiskX with the disk number from before. Use dd to write the image to the SD Card. Replace diskX with the value you found from the previous step sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX Locate the SD card in the file system using diskutil (Tip: look at the disk size listed) diskutil list python ffu2img.py File_WindowsIoTRpi2Flash.ffu This will require several gigabytes of disk space. You can use the ffu2img to convert to IMG. I used Entropy which has a free 15 day trial.Ĭonvert the FFU file to an IMG file suitable for use with dd. Use an unarchiver which supports MSI files, locate the file and extract it. Inside the MSI file you will find a FFU file which is needed to image an SD card.Download the ISO image from the Windows 10 Core Pi setup guide.The official documentation requires you to have Windows 10 installed to get started however after a little research I was able install it on an SD without installing Windows 10 locally. So after winning a Raspberry Pi 2 from the “Growth hack” at a recent Internet of Things & Data event at Microsoft, Reading, I thought it would be only fair to try Windows 10 Core.
