In a previous blog I covered the use of the FTDI D2XX driver on a Windows 10 IoT Core Raspberry PI 2. This covered a missing plank from the Win10RPI2 armour that was much called for. It facilitates the use of USB-Serial devices based upon the FTDI chipset of which there are many. Jark took an idea I had to use the FTDI ARM Windows RT D2XX driver for the RT Surface 1 & 2 and created a comprehensive Universal Windows App that used the driver. His GitHub project contains complete instructions to install the driver on a RPI2. This project is though an App. What about a using it in a Startup Task on a headless RPI2? A blocking issue has arisen.
A new version of Windows 10 IoT is available on Windows Dev Center. Version 5.x of SysInfo is now available on GitHub that addresses the OS changes in the web portal. This version has two versions of the commands in the JSON file. One for the new OS and one for the RTM version. Version 5.0 Adds [Rename Device] and [Set Admin Password]. There are also some coding corrections for the generic [api] command.
Version 4.x of SysInfo is now available on GitHub. T)his version has much improved JSON processing and includes additional commands Startapp, StopApp, Shutdown and Reboot. A customisable JSON file is used to list the app commands and their relative URLs.Update Version 4.5 has “Uninstall Package” command.
This post shows (version 4.0) the JSON file that is loaded as start up and parsed to form a list of commands that is displayed in the left pane of the app’s UI
The Web Portal uses a number of JavaScript files that are embedded in it. The one listed here in full, WebRest.js, is used by a number of the API calls.
This blog outlines the REST and JSON code used in the SysInfo Universal App that mimics the Web Portal to Windows 10 IoT devices. This portal is a web service running on the devices that permits examination of the aspects of a currently running system.
A Universal Windows App that mimics the web portal to a Windows 10 IoT Core device. Makes use of the web portal through REST and uses JSON to process the response for display. Can get ipconfig, processes, installed app, default app, OS info etc… All in an app.
This is a work in progress. The objective is to be able to directly load a Universal Windows App from an Appx package on a Windows 10 IoT RPI2, The blocking issue is a PIN requirement. I can package up the app and deploy it to my development machine and a Win 10 phone but not to my RPI2. Updated for Web Portal IoT Package installation.
Now available on Microsoft Downloads.
Application Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 (with the latest fixes as of Sep 2015) provides the tools you need to develop applications that target Windows Embedded Compact 2013. Is an update for Visual Studio 2012/13, not VS 2015.
There is no console for a Windows 10 IoT device. They can though be remotely accessed in a variety of ways. This blog summarises these options: PowerShell, Default App Web Console, FTP, Remote File System and Visual Studio Debugger.
