The final preview of Windows 10 IoT (Internet of Things) supports the Raspberry Pi 3. Microsoft opportunity to announce a partnership with element14 distributor to offer kits based on the computer.
It does not take long for Microsoft to respond to the output of the Raspberry Pi 3, just set sale. Remember that this is a significant change in version 2, with the transition to a Broadcom BCM2837 SoC 64bit (Cortex A53, ARMv8) with four cores at 1.2 GHz, against a SoC Cortex-A7 with four hearts 900MHz above. 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 are also emerging.
Windows 10 IoT takes load the Raspberry Pi 3
the editor obviously worked on the support of newcomer during its preparation phase. He thus announced in a blog post published yesterday that the latest preview release of Windows 10 IoT Core supports the Raspberry Pi 3. It is mandatory to get the “February 2016 Insider Preview” from the official page of the site to enjoy. It will also be registered in the Insider program, which not complicated (just have a Microsoft account).
Microsoft provides in his post a video demonstration of a Raspberry Pi 3 piloted by Windows 10 IoT. A tablet can display a control interface in which we can observe in particular the speed of rotation of a wheel. Curbing it causes a drop the needle on the dial left, while the right shows how the Raspberry Pi 3 can compensate the braking force by increasing the power of the engine and thus the speed of rotation of the wheel.
the microcomputer arrives in the Microsoft Store
the company took the opportunity to make land the new computer in its official store. The conventional rate of 3 Raspberry Pi’s $ 35, but Microsoft sells a version to 49.99 dollars including the product itself, along with a MicroSD card of 16GB. The latter integrates NOOBS module (New Out of Box Software) of Rasbperry, which allows for easy installation Windows 10 IoT and other operating systems scheduled for Raspberry Pi 3, especially Raspbian.
Finally, Microsoft announced a partnership with the element14 distributor to prepare offers based on Windows 10 for his Customization Service.
