Step 1: Setup
On the device
- Make sure that your device has an IoTCore image installed by following the Get Started instructions.
- Connect to your device via PowerShell.
On the PC
Make sure you have installed Visual Studio 2017.
Install the Windows Driver Kit. You will need to install the SDK and WDK.
Install the certificates so that the driver is signed correctly and can run on your device. From an elevated command prompt execute the commands listed below:
cd c:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10Toolsbini386set WPDKContentRoot=c:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10InstallOEMCerts.cmd
Apply fix to enable F5 deployment from VS. In the elevated command prompt, execute the following commands:
cd %TEMP%( will change directory toc:users<usernsme>AppdataLocalTemp)md “WdkTempFiles”Manually create a “WdkTempFiles” directoryThis is a workaround for a bug in the tooling and requires to be done only once in the PC.
Step 2: Provision device with Visual Studio
Open Visual Studio and select Driver > Test > Configure Devices > Add New Device
- If the Driver Menu option is not shown, check if SDK is installed.
In the Device Configuration dialog,
- Enter a user-friendly Display Name for your target device
- Select Device Type = Mobile
- In the list displayed, sort by IP address, and find the address for the IoT device and select. If there are two entries, select the one with the non-zero GUID. Make sure the row is selected – it should highlight blue
- At the bottom of the dialog are two radio buttons. Select the one that says Provision device and choose debugger settings. Select Next
On the Configure debugger settings, set the appropriate settings. Note the following:
- The MinnowBoardMax can use the network for debugging.
- Use connection type Network
- Select some port – default can be used
- Select some key – default can be used
- Select the host IP of the machine running visual studio. Do not use the autonet (169.xxx) address.
- Select Next
- The Raspberry Pi uses serial for kernel debugging.
- Connect the appropriate serial debugging cable to the PI and the host machine
- Select Serial for the connection type
- Fill out the rest of the parameters as appropriate for the Raspberry Pi.
- Select Next
- The MinnowBoardMax can use the network for debugging.
The WDK, through VS, will now provision the IoT device. TAEF and WDTF will be installed on the device, and the device will be set up for kernel debugging per the settings provided above.
When complete, the device may reboot. The progress screen on the Device Configuration will provide status, and shows complete when the IoT device has completed the installation. Press Finish.
- The device is now provisioned and the Device test configuration status shows Configured for driver testing
Step 3: Configure Visual Studio driver project
- Launch Visual Studio in the administrator mode and open the visual studio driver project.
- Make sure the Target Platform Version matches the SDK installed on your development machine. Select Project Properties from the Solution Explorer window. Under General Configuration Properties assure that the Target Platform Version matches the SDK installed on your development computer. You can check the version of the SDK from the Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
- Under Project > Add New Item > Visual C++ > Windows Driver, select Package Manifest and Press Add.
Package.pkg.xml file will be added to the project. In this file, specify the Owner, Platform, Component and SubComponent tags.
- Set package version number at Project Properties > PackageGen > Version. Note that every time you need to perform a Install/Reinstall of the driver, this version number has to be incremented.
- Under Project Properties > Driver Signing > Test Certificate, select test certificate (Phone OEM Test Certificate)
- Go to Driver Install and select Deployment
- From the Target Device Name dropdown, select the target created above in the provisioning process. Notice the two options for Install / Reinstall and Fast Reinstall. Choose an option and Click Ok.
- Install / Reinstall is used for the initial installation of a driver to the target. This installs the driver package using the Windows update stack and can take several minutes. This must be used every time the INF file is changed.
Tip
Every time this option is used to install a driver after the initial installation, the package version number must be incremented.
- Fast Reinstall can be used once a driver has been installed, and there are no subsequent changes to the drivers INF file, which affect the registry. This method bypasses the install process, shuts down all devnodes associated with the driver, copies the driver over, and restarts the devnode. This takes a few (<20) seconds.
Warning
This method is not guaranteed to succeed – If for some reason a devnode cannot be shutdown to release the driver, the operation will fail. This can be due to faulty hardware, or an initial faulty implementation of the driver. The Install/Reinstall option must be used in this case.
Your Visual Studio project is now ready to build and deploy a driver to your target device. If you are using the sample gpiokmdfdemo driver you need to generate ACPI table and copy to your target device, then follow the steps in building the driver in Visual Studio.
Step 4: Build and deploy driver
This can be done in two ways, using the F5 key and using the Deploy option. In both ways, the driver will be built and deployed (i.e. installs it on device) and the F5 attaches the Visual Studio kernel debugger to the installed and loaded driver.
Some users prefer to use the Deploy functionality and attach a different kernel debugger, such as WinDBG or KD. This can provide more flexibility than using the VS debugger.
Deploy
- Right-click on the project in the solution explorer
- Select Deploy
- The deployment process should proceed. The IoT device will be rebooted after deployment, and should show the “Gears” screen while installation is taking place.
Build output is in the Output WindowDeployment status is also in the output windowWhen Installation completes, the device will reboot again, and the VS Output screen will indicate success or failure.
F5
- From the build window, make sure that the configurations are correct – the current build arch is the same as the target device arch. This is where having the arch in the target name is valuable. The target will be displayed in the view box on the menu bar in VS on the top-middle-right.
- Press F5. The target will be built, deployed, and attached to the VS Kernel Debugger.
- After the reboot, make sure PowerShell is still connected to it, otherwise, reconnect to the target device using the PowerShell

Known Issues
Provisioning Errors
A race condition during the interaction with MinnowBoardMax can result in a reported failure during provisioning. In fact, the provisioning most likely succeeded.
List of Errors:
- ERROR: Task 'Registering WDTF' failed to complete successfully.
- ERROR: Task 'Configuring kernel debugger settings (possible reboot)' failed to complete successfully
Workaround: These errors can almost certainly be ignored.
Details:
The following error will be displayed in the Device Configuration Configuration Progress dialog:
At this point, you can safely click on the Finish and then the Apply and OK.
This is a benign error formed by a race condition causing a result log to be malformed. This can be verified by looking at the log file in the following area:
Open an FTP connection to the IP of the device (as shown on the device screen) to the
Data/test/bin/DriverTest/Rundirectory.e.g.ftp://<ip address of device>/Data/test/bin/DriverTest/Run/copy the
Configuring_computer_settings_(possible_reboot)_identifier.wtlfile to your local machine. Note that the log file name matches the name of the failing task.Open the file in notepad
Scroll to the bottom of the log. The following text will be present, indicating that the provisioning is successful.

Methods to Fix the Eio.dll Errorslink
ATTENTION! Before starting the installation, the Eio.dll library needs to be downloaded. If you have not downloaded it, download the library before continuing with the installation steps. If you don't know how to download it, you can immediately browse the dll download guide above.
Method 1: Installing the Eio.dll Library to the Windows System Directorylink

- The file you downloaded is a compressed file with the '.zip' extension. In order to install it, first, double-click the '.zip' file and open the file. You will see the library named 'Eio.dll' in the window that opens up. This is the library you need to install. Drag this library to the desktop with your mouse's left button.
- Copy the 'Eio.dll' library you extracted and paste it into the 'C:WindowsSystem32' directory.
- If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, copy the 'Eio.dll' library and paste it into the 'C:WindowssysWOW64' as well.
NOTE! On Windows operating systems with 64 Bit architecture, the dynamic link library must be in both the 'sysWOW64' directory as well as the 'System32' directory. In other words, you must copy the 'Eio.dll' library into both directories.
- In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.
NOTE! In this explanation, we ran the Command Line on Windows 10. If you are using one of the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems, you can use the same methods to run the Command Line as an administrator. Even though the pictures are taken from Windows 10, the processes are similar.
- First, open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type 'cmd' but do not press Enter.
- When you see the 'Command Line' option among the search results, hit the 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'ENTER' keys on your keyboard.
- A window will pop up asking, 'Do you want to run this process?'. Confirm it by clicking to 'Yes' button.
- Paste the command below into the Command Line that will open up and hit Enter. This command will delete the damaged registry of the Eio.dll library (It will not delete the file we pasted into the System32 directory; it will delete the registry in Regedit. The file we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
%windir%System32regsvr32.exe /u Eio.dll
- If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after doing the commands above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will also delete the Eio.dll library's damaged registry for 64 Bit (The deleting process will be only for the registries in Regedit. In other words, the dll file you pasted into the SysWoW64 folder will not be damaged at all).
%windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /u Eio.dll
- We need to make a new registry for the dynamic link library in place of the one we deleted from the Windows Registry Editor. In order to do this process, copy the command below and after pasting it in the Command Line, press Enter.
%windir%System32regsvr32.exe /i Eio.dll
- If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after running the command above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will have added a new library in place of the damaged Eio.dll library that we deleted.
%windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /i Eio.dll
- If you did the processes in full, the installation should have finished successfully. If you received an error from the command line, you don't need to be anxious. Even if the Eio.dll library was installed successfully, you can still receive error messages like these due to some incompatibilities. In order to test whether your dll issue was fixed or not, try running the program giving the error message again. If the error is continuing, try the 2nd Method to fix this issue.
Method 2: Copying the Eio.dll Library to the Program Installation Directorylink
- First, you must find the installation directory of the program (the program giving the dll error) you are going to install the dynamic link library to. In order to find this directory, 'Right-Click > Properties' on the program's shortcut.
- Open the program installation directory by clicking the Open File Location button in the 'Properties' window that comes up.
- Copy the Eio.dll library into this directory that opens.
- This is all there is to the process. Now, try to run the program again. If the problem still is not solved, you can try the 3rd Method.
