Advanced HMI on Linux (Pi)
« on: December 15, 2015, 03:13:34 PM »
Microsoft recently released Net Framework for Linux so I'm wondering if anyone has tried using that to run Advanced HMI on linux, or if that's even a possibility? Advanced HMI + a Pi or other cheap Linux box would be killer! :-)

The version of .NET that Microsoft released for Linux is the CoreCLR. This is mainly intended for back end servers and does not include any visual framework (UI).

They also released Windows 10 for the Pi, but it can only be programmed with Universal Apps, so AdvancedHMI will not run on it.

There are many users that have successfully run applications on the Raspberry Pi using Mono. I was also told that WINE will run AdvancedHMI apps on Linux. I even recently received a note from a user saying they run an AdvancedHMI app on the new Pi Zero.

Did the person give any details about how they got it to run on the Pi Zero?

I did not get the details, but my guess would be the same method as on the Raspberry Pi 2 using Mono
