**1. Introduction**

Advantech has placed board support packages (BSP) on [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949) with i.MX 8M Plus series application processor platforms to support Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. This highly-optimized Windows 10 IoT BSP makes it easier to build secure and scalable solutions from device to cloud, and supports diverse functions to provision, manage, and secure devices at scale.

This how-to article describes the process of building and installing Windows 10 IoT BSP on the Advantech [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949). Check our [release notes](https://forum.aim-linux.advantech.com/t/os-image-release-wiv0001-windows-10-iot-enterprise-on-rsb-3720-with-nxp-i-mx-8m-plus/260) for full reviews on the capabilities of Windows 10 on Arm of the i.MX 8M Plus application processor.

**2. Prerequisites**

**Necessary Hardware:**

- The Advantech [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949) – a 2.5” Pico-ITX SBC with NXP i.MX8M Plus SOC **(Quad Core / 6GB RAM)**
- 1 x 8GB Micro SD card for flashing the OS installer
- 1 x micro USB cable for flashing the boot loader
- 1 x power adapter (input: 100 ~ 240V AC 50/60Hz; output: DC 12V 3A; Advantech P/N: 96PSA-A36W12R1-3)
- 1 x SATA power cable (5P-1.25/5P-2.0+SATA 5P 15 cm); Advantech P/N: 1700019656
- 1 x MIPI CSI to HDMI board-(ROM-EG56); Advantech P/N:19A6EG5600-01
- An LVDS to MIPI CSI cable; Advantech P/N: 1700030769-01  
[Note] Native HDMI will not work. It will be added to the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise BSP by NXP soon.

**Necessary Software:**

- **Win32 Disk Imager**  
Please follow the link below to download an executable file.

- **Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Image package**

**3. Install Windows 10 IoT Enterprise on RSB-3720**

- **3-1. Extract the zip file (file name: 20220803.zip) of the image package you downloaded.**

- **3-2. Extract the zip file (RSB3720A1AIM20WIV0001.7z) in the folder and flash the firmware into eMMC.**

- **3-3. Prepare one 8GB SD card for flashing OS installer in Linux and Windows operating systems.**  
A. For the Linux operating system:

- **3-4.Flash firmware image into the same Micro SD card**

- **3-5. Flash Windows IoT to eMMC**

**[Notice]**

A. Do not remove the SD card

The SD card shouldn’t be removed when Window 10 IoT enterprise is loading as there is no OTG port on the [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949) to flash load it onto the eMMC.

B. Reset and return the SD card to its initial status before flashing it on another device.  
The SD card should be reset back to the initial status if the SD card has been used as an OS installer for a previous, different device. Please follow the steps below to initialize the SD card:

- 1.Rename the “\_efi” folder to “EFI”

- 2.Change partition id. using a Windows command line

**4.Conclusion**

The [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949) with NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform is now powered by Windows IoT Enterprise, which brings full Windows application compatibility to IoT. This enables developers to use preexisting and familiar app development frameworks like .NET Framework, .NET Core, WinForms, and WPF; in addition to more modern frameworks like UWP and WinUI. Furthermore, Advantech has packed a powerful combination of I/O and peripherals into [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949) buttressing the i.MX 8M Plus processor to produce a solution adaptable to diverse requirements. The small footprint of the [RSB-3720](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/5912096e-f242-4b17-993a-1acdcaada6f6/rsb-3720/mod_d2f1b0bc-650b-449a-8ef7-b65ce4f69949) results in a cost-effective and lower power solution that enables developers to build new, compact, and fan-less Windows IoT devices in form factors not previously possible.
