Configuring Windows 10 IoT in Raspberry PI 3

The default user/pwd is administrator / p@ssw0rd

Setting a fixed IP

From IoT dashboard select Launch Powershell

netsh interface ipv4 show config

netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet" static 192.168.250.254 255.255.255.0

Preparing dev environment

Install Visual Studio Professional 2015. make sure to do a custom installation and select Universal Windows App Development Tools > Tools and Windows SDK.

Install the Windows IoT Core Project Templates from the Extension and Updates dialog (Tools > Extensions and Updates > Online).

Enable developer mode

To enable Developer mode, or access other settings:

1. From the For developers settings dialog, choose the level of access that you need.
2. Read the disclaimer for the setting you chose, then click Yes to accept the change.

Note

If your device is owned by an organization, some options might be disabled by your organization.

Here's the settings page on the desktop device family:

Which setting should I choose: sideload apps or Developer Mode?

You can enable a device for development, or just for sideloading.

• Windows Store apps is the default setting. If you aren't development apps, or using special internal apps issued by your company, keep this setting active.
• Sideloading is installing and then running or testing an app that has not been certified by the Windows Store. For example, an app that is internal to your company only.
• Developer mode lets you sideload apps, and also run apps from Visual Studio in debug mode.

By default, you can only install Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps from the Windows Store. Changing these settings to use developer features can change the level of security of your device. You should not install apps from unverified sources.

Sideload apps

The Sideload apps setting is typically used by companies or schools that need to install custom apps on managed devices without going through the Windows Store. In this case, it's common for the organization to enforce a policy that disables the Windows Store apps setting, as shown previously in the image of the settings page. The organization also provides the required certificate and install location to sideload apps. For more info, see the TechNet articles Sideload apps in Windows 10 and Get started with app deployment in Microsoft Intune.

Device family specific info

• On the desktop device family: You can install an app package (.appx) and any certificate that is needed to run the app by running the Windows PowerShell script that is created with the package ("Add-AppDevPackage.ps1"). For more info, see Packaging UWP apps.
• On the mobile device family: If the required certificate is already installed, you can tap the file to install any .appx sent to you via email or on an SD card.

Sideload apps is a more secure option than Developer Mode because you cannot install apps on the device without a trusted certificate.

Note

If you sideload apps, you should still only install apps from trusted sources. When you install a sideloaded app that has not been certified by the Windows Store, you are agreeing that you have obtained all rights necessary to sideload the app and that you are solely responsible for any harm that results from installing and running the app. See the Windows > Windows Store section of this privacy statement.

Developer Mode

Developer Mode replaces the Windows 8.1 requirements for a developer license. In addition to sideloading, the Developer Mode setting enables debugging and additional deployment options. This includes starting an SSH service to allow this device to be deployed to. In order to stop this service, you have to disable Developer Mode.

Device family specific info

• On the desktop device family:
  Enable Developer Mode to develop and debug apps in Visual Studio. As stated previously, you will be prompted in Visual Studio if Developer Mode is not enabled.
  Allows enabling of the Windows subsystem for Linux. For more info, see About Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
• On the mobile device family:
  Enable developer mode to deploy apps from Visual Studio and debug them on the device.
  You can tap the file to install any .appx sent to you via email or on an SD card. Do not install apps from unverified sources.

Additional Developer Mode features

For each device family, additional developer features might be available. These features are available only when Developer Mode is enabled on the device, and might vary depending on your OS version.

When you enable Developer Mode, a package of options is installed that includes:

• Installs Windows Device Portal. Device Portal is enabled and firewall rules are configured for it only when the Enable Device Portal option is turned on.
• Installs, enables, and configures firewall rules for SSH services that allow remote installation of apps.
• (Desktop only) Allows enabling of the Windows subsystem for Linux. For more info, see About Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
