MCIMX8M-EVK install Windows 10 IOT Enterprise

[Rheyniel]

Hi, is anyone tried to install Windows 10 IOT Enterprise MCIMX8M-EVK?

I followed all the instructions from this tutorial and successfully created a bootable Windows 10 IOT installer. The issue is I can't install it on the eMMC due to insufficient storage. The MCIMX8M-EVK have a 14.7 GB and the Windows 10 IOT installer needs 15GB of storage,

I tried to install the Windows 10 IOT using DISM.

Use Shift+F11 to open command line and do following.

diskpart

sel disk 0

clean

convert gpt

create partition efi size=260

format quick fs=fat32 label="BOOT"

assign letter="S"

create partition msr size=16

create partition primary

format quick fs=ntfs label="SYSTEM" compress

assign letter="W"

exit 

Deploy the image (assuming your flash drive is D:):

dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:D:\sources\install.swm /Index:1 /ApplyDir:W:\ /Compact

Set boot files:

W:\Windows\System32\bcdboot W:\Windows /s S:

After this, exit the command prompt, installer, reboot, and Windows should finish initializing.

All commands are successful, but unfortunately I encounter an error saying "inaccessible boot device" after the restart.

Hi @Zhiming_Liu,

Thank you for the response. I tried to follow the instructions multiple times on the link but unfortunately I stuck on this error:

This is the command I used:

.\make-winpe-enterprise.cmd /disable_updates /test_signing

This is the error.

Hi @Rheyniel 

Can you check the dsim.log?

Hi @Zhiming_Liu,

I already finished the "10.1 Flashing Windows 10 IoT Installer to the SD card". I used the "W21H2-1-4-1" binaries instead the updated "W21H2-1-5-0". My issue now is I stuck on the display of Windows Logo. I finished the "10.2 Flashing firmware to the SD card" and "10.3 Flashing Firmware to eMMC". On the "10.4 Installing Windows 10 IoT on eMMC and Booting Windows 10 IoT" only windows logo displays on the screen.

Hi @Rheyniel 

Please try 10.2 Flashing firmware to the SD card and 10.4 Installing Windows 10 IoT on eMMC and Booting Windows 10 IoT, don't include the 10.3 Flashing Firmware to eMMC

Hi @Zhiming_Liu,

I also tried that one. Unfortunately I still encounter that issue. I also connected to micro USB for the debugging and here is the output:

Hi @Rheyniel 

How do you connect board to your monitor? HDMI or MIPI-HDMI?

[Rheyniel]

Hi @Zhiming_Liu,

I connect the board thru HDMI in my monitor.

[Zhiming_Liu]

Hi @Rheyniel 

Can you also try to boot from SD card? Do not install to emmc and boot from emmc.

To simplify this process, i.MX EVK
boards support SD card boot mode that allows you to keep the boot firmware on an SD card.

[Rheyniel]

Hi @Zhiming_Liu,

Yes, I also tried this one, boot on SD Card, and the dip switch is set like that image.
