[MinnowBoard] MinnowBoard Turbot GPIO with Windows 10?

[John 'Warthog9' Hawley]

Don't believe, currently, that there is a way to control the GPIOs from
Windows 10 directly, though Windows 10 IoT has that capability.

This did come up recently on the IRC channel, and from the discussion it
was noted that (and I'm going to quote here)

"<kyranf> the new (march 30 release) Windows 10 insider build has
"universal" support for windows app development, which has the GPIO
libraries/wrappers/headers for C++"

So it's possible that a future update to Windows 10 will have those
libraries as well, as I know that kyranf was looking at doing something
very similar.  Now this is only with respect to GPIO, the HSUARTs in the
LSE should be usable if you can find the appropriate driver, that being
said there's a thread here:

https://embedded.communities.intel.com/thread/8328

that discusses this in some detail, and probably worth a quick glance.
