Modernizing Windows CE systems with Windows 10 IoT

2019-05-08 KENNETH 0

Modernizing Windows CE systems with Windows 10 IoT Microsoft has provided platforms and operating systems for embedded devices for decades. As new offerings such as Windows 10 IoT have become available, our customers and partners are increasingly interested in the advanced security, platform and cloud connectivity features that these OSes provide. Customers moving from most earlier editions of Windows, like Windows XP and Windows 7, can do so with little effort because of binary-compatible applications. Other operating systems, like Windows CE, require device builders to modify source code. Porting applications like this can be challenging. To help these customers move to Windows 10 IoT and harness the full power of the intelligent edge including artificial intelligence and machine learning, Microsoft is developing technology that will allow most customers to run their existing, unmodified Windows CE applications on Windows 10 IoT [ more… ]

Microsoft Azure IoT Device Agent V2 general availability We are excited to announce the general availability of Microsoft Azure IoT Device Agent V2. The Microsoft Azure IoT Device Agent is an open-source, ready-to-build and package solution for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and Windows 10 IoT Core operating systems that provides you with built-in capabilities to remotely provision, configure, monitor and manage your IoT devices. When it comes to the widespread deployment of IoT devices, one of the key challenges is around remote manageability. IoT devices are deployed out in the field or on factory floors where direct device access is not always possible or practical. As an operator, you also want to ensure that you can deploy software and security updates across all the IoT devices in the field to protect and secure the data as well as the device. [ more… ]

Open Robotics and Microsoft release ROS on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

2019-05-08 KENNETH 0

Open Robotics and Microsoft release ROS on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise From tiny toys on supermarket shelves to building-sized material haulers, today’s robots come in all shapes and sizes. And thanks to a range of advancements in their components and technologies, they are also becoming more capable and cost effective. Robots may be the ultimate intelligent edge device. A robot needs to observe the world using many sensors, and reason about what it has observed in order to develop a plan of action. It then needs to perform those actions quickly and safely, often with limited internet connectivity. One of the most popular frameworks for building that complex functionality is the Robot Operating System (ROS) maintained by Open Robotics, a mature, open source robotics framework used worldwide for commercial and research applications. ROS’ interoperability, body of samples, and community make [ more… ]

2019-05-07 KENNETH 0

Developing people-centered experiences with Microsoft 365 Today at Microsoft Build 2019, Rajesh Jha and I will have the opportunity to share how developers can connect with customers in new ways and build people-centric experiences using the Microsoft 365 platform. I’ll focus on the two most ubiquitous canvases for developers – Windows and Microsoft Edge. Windows as a canvas for moving the world forward With over 800 million active devices on the Windows 10 platform, Windows is the canvas people use when they want to move the world forward. The opportunity is even greater when we consider the 1 billion+ people across work, life, and school using Microsoft 365 services, like Office and Windows combined. When people are at the center of the experience, it frees us to dream about the most optimal experiences for our employees or customers – allowing [ more… ]
