[MinnowBoard] GPIO on Windows OS

For Windows 8.1, my understanding is that you will need to write a driver. (KMDF or UMDF). First, you will need to add a device to the ACPI tables that declares the GPIO resources that you are using (basically a list of pin numbers), then Windows will provide these resources to your driver when it loads. You will then be able to create an IO target for the resource and send IOCTLs to the IO target. The IOCTLs will be sent (ultimately) to the Intel GPIO driver which will manipulate the hardware on your behalf.

This talks about Windows 10 a lot, but most of it is also relevant for Win 8/8.1:

There are Windows guys in here, and at least I am interested in using the gpios with windows, but I am not at that stage yet.
I would appreciate if u guys keep the mailing list/ me updated on how to use the gpios

Subject: [MinnowBoard] GPIO on Windows OS

Hello everyone,

Just digging into how best to make us of the GPIOs under Windows.

My understanding is that for the upcoming Windows 10 IoT supported on the Minnowboard MAX, there is native support in the OS through the namespace “Windows.Devices.Gpio”:

https://ms-iot.github.io/content/win10/samples/PinMappingsMBM.htm<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ms-2Diot.github.io_content_win10_samples_PinMappingsMBM.htm&d=AwMFaQ&c=O3LcjD-V2Iepl5V0N1424A&r=peQM3iMtv_Pd8h2uWcGA2e9bi9aRlEzANQCHr5BWbZw&m=Z_tvByoT2QZ2E423PUpp5mpPJFoL5vwPlkehwMEx0uM&s=_TfcRg1U7o9Xr-pjGvMzdWYAUdqqFd0RR4YBWp4H4ZQ&e=>

From what I can see there is no such existing support in Windows 8.1, and I will have to do a little driver development built on top of the Intel embedded drivers (https://embedded.communities.intel.com/thread/7669<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__embedded.communities.intel.com_thread_7669&d=AwMFaQ&c=O3LcjD-V2Iepl5V0N1424A&r=peQM3iMtv_Pd8h2uWcGA2e9bi9aRlEzANQCHr5BWbZw&m=Z_tvByoT2QZ2E423PUpp5mpPJFoL5vwPlkehwMEx0uM&s=vMM-8YO5McbocaFJYp-NFZRFLfr_pXe2L1V5SO2LBLI&e=>). Not an issue, but if there is anything out there that exists which means I don’t have to reinvent the wheel at this stage then that would be great.

Thanks,

Leigh

Subject: Re: [MinnowBoard] Info Windows
MinnowBoard Max has been verified with booting Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
You could get free Windows 10 from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__windows.microsoft.com_en-2Dus_windows_preview-2Diso&d=AwMFaQ&c=O3LcjD-V2Iepl5V0N1424A&r=peQM3iMtv_Pd8h2uWcGA2e9bi9aRlEzANQCHr5BWbZw&m=Z_tvByoT2QZ2E423PUpp5mpPJFoL5vwPlkehwMEx0uM&s=h0cbs_d8xaJhfmPH_Qf8Su_hWc7uQPRjrZ8Fr7vpBMM&e=>

(1) Just unzip the ISO image into the root directory of a USB harddisk.
(2)Then connect the USB harddisk to your MinnowBoard Max.  And connect a USB keyboard to your MinnowBoard Max.
(3) power on the MinnowBoard Max and Keep pressing "F2" key of your keyboard to enter BIOS Setup.
(4) Enter the "Boot Manager" page and select the USB harddisk to boot.
(5) Windows installation will begin.

Subject: [MinnowBoard] Info Windows

Good morning,
we are from NEOS, an Italian society operating in the environmental field.
We would be interested in buying minnowboard max This is just to enquire some information:

Would it be possible to install Windows on minnowboard max.?

If so:
-Which version?
-Where could we find it?
-How much does it cost?
-Do installation tutorials exist?

If no, would it be possible to use Windows through an emulator?

best regards

Stefano

Subject: Re: [MinnowBoard] Silverjaw working?
Could you attach your mSATA to platform and boot into UEFI Shell? Then tell us if any devices are listed by UEFI Shell?

How to boot to UEFI Shell

(1)    Power on the board and keep pressing “F2” key on your keyboard, which will allow you to enter BIOS Setup.

(2)    Enter  “Boot Manager” of BIOS Setup, and then select UEFI Shell to boot.

Sorry, I was out of town for a bit.

With no other devices attached, when I boot I see:

UEFI Interactive Shell
EDK II
EUFI v2.40 (EDK II, 0x00010000)
Error. No mapping gound
Press ESC to skip....

I get that with two different, known working mSata drives.

I get the same thing with no drive installed.

Hi Jeremy,

When the mSATA drive and mPCIe wireless card are plugged into the
Silverjaw and you power up the Max what happens?  Does the Max default
to the UEFI shell?  If it does, what is displayed?
