Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

Complied by: Polyhex Technology Company Limited (http://www.polyhex.net/
Windows 10 IoT is a member of the Windows 10 family that brings enterprise- class power, security, and manageability to the Internet of Things. DEBIX products support Windows 10 IoT running on i.MX 8M Plus processors with highly optimized systems that make it easier to build secure, scalable solutions from device to cloud, from resource provisioning to managing and protecting devices at scale.
DEBIX with Windows 10 IoT will be the new platform for fast, secure and real- time data processing on the intelligent edge.![DEBIX Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

Chapter 1 Windows 10 IoT Introduction

Windows 10 IoT is a member of the Windows 10 family designed for a wide range of smart devices, including larger, more complex devices from small industrial gateways to point-of-sale terminals and ATMs. It leverages Windows’ embedded experience, ecosystem and cloud connectivity to provide an end-to-end solution for creating the Internet of Things with secure devices. These devices can be quickly provisioned, easily managed, and seamlessly connected to an overall cloud strategy.
1.1. Editor
Windows 10 IoT is available in two editions:

  • Windows 10 IoT Core, the smallest member of the Windows 10 operating system family.
    While only running a single app, it still has the manageability and security expected from Windows 10.

  • Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, a full version of Windows 10 with specialized features to create dedicated devices locked down to a specific set of applications and peripherals.

It is because of the uniqueness of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise that DEBIX has chosen to support Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.
1.2. Feature
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is the latest operating system designed for embedded and IoT devices. It’s productive, trusted, and smart, and can be used to build any kind of OEM style appliance.
Main features:

  • Support built-in Microsoft Edge browser
  • Customize Windows Update user experience via Device Update Center (DCU)
  • Support Soft Real-Time
  • Linux Subsystem for Windows (WSL)
  • Support GPU computing for machine learning and other compute-intensive workflows
  • Support WPA3 H2E standard for enhanced Wi-Fi security
  • Unified Write Filter (UWF) updates, including allowing creation and use of UWF Swapfile (DISK Overlay), read-only media mode, etc. on any volume

Chapter 2 Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Installation Guide

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise specific release information is as follows:DEBIX
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise - Figure 2The following is a brief introduction to the installation process of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise systems on DEBIX.

2.1. Download installation package

  • Prepare a Win10(and up) PC.
  • Download the latest system installation package we provide for DEBIX, at official website address: https://debix.io/Software/download.html.DEBIX Windows 10 IoT Enterprise - Figure 3
  • The system installation package contains firmware.rar and win10_iot_x.x.x-xxxxxxx.img.
    The firmware.rar file needs to be extracted for file burning. The composition of system installation package is referenced as follows:DEBIX Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise - Figure 4

2.2. Installation
Due to the large space occupied by the system installation package, two points need to be met:

  1. DEBIX onboard memory capacity at least 8GB, eMMC capacity at least 16GB.
  2. Prepare a Micro SD Card of 8GB or more.
    Note: DEBIX DIP switch, up is 1, down is 0.

2.2.1. Flash on DEBIX Model A

  1. Turn the DIP switch of the DEBIX Model A to 01 (USB mode).DEBIX Windows 10 IoT Enterprise - Figure 5

  2. Prepare a USB-Type-c cable to connect PC to the motherboard OTG port.

  3. Burn firmware to eMMC: On a win10 PC, open WindowsPowerShell in administrator mode.
