Just a few minutes ago, we tweeted about WoR, a project to put Windows 10 ARM64 Edition on the Raspberry Pi 3B/B+.
Getting all the drivers written for such an endeavor is the huge part….
Now, MCCI Corporation has made their TrueTask USB host stack available to the Raspberry Pi Windows on ARM community for non-commercial, evaluation purposes.
Rather than charge for this service, MCCI writes:
Supporting our work
If the drivers work for you, please consider a donation to The Things Network New York, Inc.. This is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity that MCCI’s Terry Moore leads in NYC and Ithaca; they are working to deploy community owned, open source, standards-based, free-to-use IoT networks for remote sensing and smart city applications. There’s a “Donate” link on the TTN NY home page.
Note that this doesn’t go to fund MCCI, but rather it goes to fund a cause that MCCI cares a lot about; your contribution will help us (and everyone doing community LoRaWAN networking) in our effort to make IoT a public good.
The Things Network lets independent municipal leaders like myself walk down a path that was previously unavailable to government, a third way between a municipal build out of a Wide Area Network and a massive franchise agreement with a private corporation. Together with The Things Network, government may now organize in concert with a diverse coalition of partners to create and enhance services at the local community level.
New York can lead by example, showing American technologists that there is more than one way to do an IoT rollout. They don’t need to be done from the top down, with a government franchise and loads of commoditized data.
See the pi64.win website, the USB driver information, and the announcement Tweet.
And thank you MCCI for donations to The Things Network New York, a project that Adafruit supports also.
