Are the GPIO pins accessible via APIs too?
- eberkund 8y agoYes. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/learn-about-hardware/pinmappings/pinmappingsrpi https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/learn-abou... You could actually run Windows on Raspberry Pi 3 for a while now, I think it just was just a beta image or something. I'm not entirely sure, but I know I was able to install Windows IoT core on my Pi 3B.
- snailmailman 8y agoIoT core is different than full windows. It’s almost like the “lite” version of embedded windows. It has no desktop or start menu, for instance. From what I understand, now you can run full windows. Although I’m curious how well it runs
- frabert 8y agoExactly, I knew of IOTCore already, but I don't know of any WinAPI to access such low level features
- Avery3R 8y agoThe lite version of embedded windows is embedded compact, which uses an entirely different kernel. EC can't run normal win32 apps, even if they're compiled for the architecture. IoT is somewhere in the middle. It's windows embedded with almost everything stripped out, but it still uses a normal NT kernel, and it can still run normal win32 apps.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoMy understanding is the GPIO APIs are unique to Windows 10 IoT Core, and aren't available on full Windows 10 editions.
- 0xcoffee 8y agoThey are .net Core API's and work under Linux and Windows: https://github.com/dotnet/iot/ https://github.com/dotnet/iot/
