Datasheet

Prepare Raspberry Pi

At a minimum, you’ll need a power supply, a bootable microSD card, and an Ethernet connection (must be on the

same network as your Windows 10 computer). A USB WiFi dongle is optional. An HDMI monitor is a good idea, along

with a USB mouse.

The HDMI monitor will allow you to see the progress of the boot. Once booted, you’ll be able to view useful status

information about the IoT device, such as system name, the Ethernet configuration, and system version. You’ll also be

able to set your language preference and network preferences.

With the power disconnected, insert the Ethernet cable and the microSD card into the Pi. Connect the power, and wait

about five minutes for IoT to boot (this will be faster on subsequent boots).

Device Portal

Windows IoT Core devices support a special webserver called the Device Portal. These pages give you a full set of

tools for monitoring and configuring your device. The Portal allows you to monitor, start and stop processes and apps,

change your device name and password, configure your network settings, etc.

Open the Core IoT Dashboard. On the left, select “My Devices”. You should see a list of all the IoT devices on your

network. On each line, you’ll see a clickable icon for “Settings”.

The version of Windows IoT Core shipped with the Adafruit development kit is for the Pi 2. It is not

compatible with the Pi 3. You will need to build a Pi 3 image if using a Pi 3. See this page of the tutorial for

instructions.

At the time of this writing, WiFi adapters are not supported by Win IoT.
