This completes getting Blinky running as a shell script on a Dragonboard 410c

In this activity we will use the ADB command line and shell running on the development system, to directly manipulate the Dragonboard 410c GPIO pins. A version of "Blinky" will be implemented that periodically flashes a LED of the target. A second version will turn the LED on/off under control of a press button. The "app" will run as batch file of ADB commands on the dev machine remotely controlling Dragonboard. A Linux shell script running on the target will also be used that encapsulates the batched ADB commands..

In this exercise we will use Android Studio to create a single screen Android UI app that will access the sensor class to get the number of established sensors on a device. Don’t worry if you don’t have any sensors, It’s just that its more interesting than doing yet another “Hello World”. My system didn’t have any sensors enabled.

This blog will cover getting the development environment set up on a Windows 10 development machine. It also covers (an issue I wrestled with for some time) getting the target connected to the development machine. The second blog in this sequence will cover app development and deployment. Given my Windows background, it might have made sense to do the app development in Xamarin, the cross platform .NET app development environment for which you can simultaneously develop code for Windows, Android and Apple. You can also code in Visual Studio and deploy to an Android device. That will be the topic of a subsequent blog as I wish in this first instance to use the generic Android develop environment (Android Studio). I will then cover Android specific development in Visual Studio (2013) using a plugin. The hard part of the installation is getting ADB set up.

The Dragonboard 410C from Arrow has been certified for Windows 10 IoT-Core. It comes though with the Android OS installed. Whilst a subsequent blog will cover the Windows 10 installation to it, this blog focuses upon getting a feel for the board’s capabilities and how to use it in the Android context. This will then will lead to expectations of the board’s functional capabilities in the IoT-Core context for the next blog. The previous blog covered the board’s features.
