UPIWIN - Micro Pi Windows Kernel

Release 0.1 - December 12, 2019

This project involves the development of a framework for running self-contained applications in Python on a Raspberry Pi with LCD graphical output and touchscreen input. The ultimate goal is to produce a framework which is flexible enough to serve any number of "appliance" needs, by using different Python scripts over the same native-code substrate, deployed on an inexpensive embedded platform.

Hardware requirements

Raspberry Pi 3 with PiTFT touchscreen (Adafruit product ID 2423). See Building the Hardware to Run UPIWIN to assemble the hardware, and Preparing the Operating System for UPIWIN for the system software.

Acknowledgements

A good portion of this code was written during the VMware Carbon Black Hackathon 3.3, December 6-13 2019. Grateful acknowledgement is provided to VMware Carbon Black for the time to accomplish this coding.
