win10 IOT on raspberry pi3 or raspberry pi2 - raspberry-pi

I have a raspberry pi3 but I am having tremendous issues with trying to install win10 IOT on it. When I download the core and try to boot it I only get the "rainbow" screen. When installing noobs I dont even get the option for win10 IOT. Anyone else had problems with this? Will it work smoother on a raspberry pi2 rather then the pi3?
Im not asking if anyone know solutions for booting win10 IOT on pi3, I have tried most of it :) Just asking if anyone has better experiences using pi2 for it?

If you follow the link to Manually set up your IoT Core device Microsoft there explain how to install with a Windows computer.
If you are using UNIX however, there isn't much help for you. As an experienced Unix user who last used Windows seriously about six years ago I found it quite intimidating to have to
a) log into my Microsoft account (that I last used from a different continent)
b) sign up as a "Windows Insider"
Even after going through these hurdles I only stumbled across the ISO file by accident, and even then nothing for the Raspberry Pi.
This answer isn't given to help you achieve your aim, which I despair of doing, but to let you know that the whole process perplexed someone of considerable experience. I don't see myself using Win 10 for my Pis without buying a pre-configured SD card.

What you're going to need to do is follow this link and do what it says:
https://buildazure.com/2017/05/24/setup-raspberry-pi-with-windows-10-iot-core/
Basically:
Load up your microsd card onto the PC
Use the wizard
Insert card into the Pi
And boot it up.

How do I make a raspberry pi raspbian application?

I am struggling on how to make a Raspberry Pi app for Raspbian (On a raspberry pi). I have searched and searched for hours but I still can't find out how to make one. There are apps that I can use but I cannot install them. Should I use python??... Please help me!!...
I found a few visual editors like XOJO, I am knew to "RASPBERRY PI" stuff.
It's just a bare machine you can cover it with anything you want. It's basically Lightweight Linux distro which we install mostly on the PI. Can support wide range of applications but IOT related products are more often developed using PI. If this is the case you can start here using android also.

Raspberry Pi wont remove OpenElec and Kodi

I have gotten a used Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (bought used).
I formatted the SD-Card and downloaded Raspbian Stretch Lite. When I turned on the Pi, somehow it opened Openelec with Kodi.
I tried it again and again. I went and tried to install NOOBS instead. Same thing happens. It opens OpenELEC and Kodi.
I have formatted the SD-Card using a Windows 10 PC. Triied it with the "Quick formating" option on and off. After formating, the SD-Card seems to be empty, as far as I can tell from Windows explorer.
Since I dont really need the GUI, it wouldnt be so bad when I could just use ssh to get a terminal and do the work I want to do. However, Openelec disabled basic things like apt-get. When I try it, the following message appears:
There is no working 'apt-get'.
'apt-get' is a command to install, update and remove software which
is stored in a non local repo. 'apt-get' does nothing then connecting to such
repo, downloads the software, unpacks the software, updates a big
local database with all filepaths and other informations about the
installed software or removes or updates installed Software.
With OpenELEC it is not possible to change the system for security and
stability reasons so even 'apt-get' would not be able to do this.
We also dont have and want to maintain such a repo for various other
great reasons.
Also Ubuntu or Debian packages are often outdated and not compatible
with OpenELEC
TIP: use XBMC's addon browser to enhance your OpenELEC system
I cant exmplain that behaviour. To my knowledge, the Pi should not have any type of internal storage. So I dont understand how the old OS can still be there after I format the SD-Card for the 5th time (no other data storage medium connected). Noobs and Raspbian shouldnt have anything to do with Kodi or Openelec so I do not undestand how it keeps coming up. I have tried to look for a solution online but couldnt find anything but how to install the software that I want to get rid of.
Does anybody know how I can remove Openelec and Kodi so that I can have a normal Raspbian distribution installed? Thanks in advance!
You formatted the microSD card on your PC and it still boots into Openelec? Did you write the Raspbian Lite image onto the card? It seems that you haven't actually modified the contents of the card.
I strongly recommend getting Etcher to write bootable images; you don't even have to decompress the downloaded image, Etcher will do that for you. Etcher is pretty smart at figuring out which media is your microSD card, but as always when working with tools that can overwrite disks be careful.

Is it possibile set up Storm on a single raspberry pi 3?

I've seen on StackOverflow that's possibile develop a cluster composed of a single node.
My challenge is maybe harder: setting an apache storm environment on a single raspberry pi 3. I know that is a very limited machine to do stream computing, but mine is a research interest. Until now, I have not found system requirements to setup storm on a machine, someone can help me?
Thanks to all
Yes, Ideally it should be possible once you have Linux OS installed for e.g. Ubuntu Mate on Raspberry Pi 3.
You may be required to make sure you have these packages installed:
Java 7
Python 2.
Then follow below link for a basic setup of Storm:
https://github.com/vrmorusu/Storm/wiki/Apache-Storm-on-Cloudera-VM
You may build uberjar files containing Storm topology files on your local machines to avoid installation of maven and other build tool dependencies.
It would be great if you can try this and post your success story or issues seen in this forum. It will help getting more focused answer(s) for problem(s).

Configuring QT Creator on Windows 7 (Raspberry pi is target)

So I will start off by saying that I do NOT want know how to setup or run QT on the pi. I am specifically trying to setup Qt Creator 4.0.3 (Based on Qt 5.7.0 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit)) to write and compile C++ and the run it on the Raspberry pi 2. I have found that running qt on the pi is far to slow.
I have searched for two days to find the right toolchain download for qt/raspberry and its corresponding qt configuration. Nothing seems to work. I have found what seems like a thousand dead ends searching the web. I can write and compile apps for windows console fine. But finding information to cross compile for raspberry seems to be an elusive Unicorn!
Does anyone have this working??? If so which of the many toolchains did you use? And please help me replicate your QT configuration. The closest I have come is using the GCC ARM Embedded toolchain but I cant seem to get the QT options set correctly and I believe that only gets me part of the way there. My ultimate goal is to control GPIO and use the RadioHead library.
Thanks in advance!
I also wanted to do that, and I actually achieved it, It's called "cross-compilation", you build on the Main PC and then compile it to the target.
Initially I wanted to use my main PC with windows 10, but I ended creating a linux partition on my pc to do it since I didn't found any way to do it with windows.
Qt has a very comprehensive tutorial with Qt5 and RaspberryPi2 (both with linux), the only problem is you need linux on your pc to do it. If you want to do this I would suggest following this steps:
Create a linux partition with the same os as in the pi (for example raspbian and debian) and name the username (in linux) "pi" and the password "raspberry". This will help you with external libraries.
Install Qt for Linux on your new partition
Follow Qt's tutorial on https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS
The tutorial is really straightforward, I really recommend it.
Good Luck.

Cannot update FEZ Hydra firmware: Device is not connected or not responding

Update 1:
Hi friends, could you please recommend me a powered USB hub in Australia(preferred in Melbourne)? I guess my problem is caused by the insufficient power supply.
Hi friends,
I have a FEZ Hydra Basic kit. I got it in 2012 (might be in Sep).
Today I downloaded the latest SDKs, drivers and everything(NETMF and Gadgeteer Package 2014 R1). (.NET Micro Framework 4.3 and the firmware I have on my laptop is 4.2.6.2)
But the firmware on my deivce is 4.1.x.x(I was lucky to saw the device's firmware version just once and I followed the instruction on the software FEZ Config, but failed with errors).
After that, I cannot get the Device's firmware version any more.
I found changing USB ports sometimes help. I have 4 USB ports, some of them can connected to the device, others are not.
So I have no idea to update the firmware in other way.
Could someone please help me to figure out how to find a way to update my firmware?
In the attached image, it shows: the FEZ Config detected the FEZ Hydra and was trying to get the device's firmware version, but it failed to do so and followed by an error message say: Failure - Device is not connected or not responding.
As I mentioned above, I was lucky to see the FEZ Config successfully got the device's version only once.
So my guess is - is it because the output power is not strong enough to support the operation, so I have to use something like a USB hub which has a strong and stable power?(I saw someone mentioned this and cannot find the comments any more).
Bt the way, all USB ports I mentioned above are directly on my laptop which means they get power directly from motherboard, so they should have strong and stable power to support my operations.
I have been stuck at this issue for the whole day, I really hope some friends can help me out.
Thank you very much in advance.
I've had like the same issue. While updating the firmware it threw me that message and I could not reach my Gadgeteer *Fez Hydra at all. I managed to solve it by attaching an external power supply to it. I use the USB Client DP (Dual Power) 1.3. This way you do need the power over USB part and you can safely update the firmware.

edit: If that doesn't solve your isse you might want to reset the Loader first. Which is given as a tip on the GHI website before updating the firmware.
