Updating your Intel Galileo
/IBoughtAGalileo.htm

Running Windows on my Intel Galileo

If you have bought your own Intel Galileo or received one through the Windows Developer Program for IoT, now you can update it to run Windows. The version of Microsoft Windows released for the Windows Developer Program for IoT requires an Intel Galileo Gen 1 with 1.0.2 firmware. Gen 2 of the Galileo is not supported by this release.

Before you image your microSD card

Please ensure that you are imaging your miniSD card for a known reason. If you are experiencing a bug, please do not image. Instead, please visit Microsoft Connect{:target="_blank"} to file a bug, and the MS IoT team will respond.

Known reasons to image your microSD card include:

  • You are updating to a new version of the Microsoft Windows image supplied as part of the Windows Developer Program for IoT.
  • You updated your Intel Galileo firmware, but did not update your Microsoft Windows image. Your Intel Galileo boots, but running sketches fails.
  • You have a corrupted SD card.

Applying Microsoft Windows to an microSD card

Requirements:

Please download the following files to your computer:

Intel Galileo Firmware Update

Intel has released Firmware version 1.0.2 which needs to be applied to your board before running Microsoft Windows.

Please follow the Intel's Getting Started Guide{:target="_blank"}. Once you've followed the firmware update instructions, you do not need to continue following the Getting Started guide as the instructions do not apply to Microsoft Windows running on the Intel Galileo board.

NOTE: : When extracting the Intel Galileo package, please extract into the root of your drive and make sure that the path does not contain spaces.

Write Windows to the microSD card

  • Format the microSD card with the Fat32 file system.
  • Open an Administrative command prompt:
    • Open the Start screen
    • type cmd
    • right click or tap and hold on Command Prompt, then select Run as Administrator
  • If you are running on Windows 7 please follow these instructions{:target="_blank"} before proceeding.
  • In the command window, type the following:
cd /d %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
apply-bootmedia.cmd -destination {YourSDCardDrive} -image {.wimFile} -hostname mygalileo -password admin

Example:

apply-bootmedia.cmd -destination e:\ -image 9600.16384.x86fre.winblue_rtm_iotbuild.140731-1000_galileo_v1.wim -hostname mygalileo -password admin

NOTE:

  • The path where your files are stored on your PC should not contain spaces or you will reach a known bug during installation.
  • Depending on the speed of your microSD card, SD card reader and computer, writing Microsoft Windows to the microSD card can take between 30 minutes and 2 hours.

Booting Windows

  • Remove power from your Intel Galileo.
  • Insert the microSD card you created above.
  • Power on your board.
  • Windows will take about 2 minutes to boot.
