**1. Introduction**  
Advantech has placed board support packages (BSP) on [ROM-5722](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/computer-on-module/rom-5722/mod_11aa0c77-868e-4014-8151-ac7a7a1c5c1b) with i.MX 8M Plus series application processor platforms to support Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. This highly-optimized Windows 10 IoT BSP will make GPU support available for the i.MX 8M Plus following release. This GPU driver supports the Verisilicon GC7000 UltraLite GPU integrated onboard i.MX 8M Plus SoCs. This will help leverage powerful graphics capabilities of DirectX.

This how-to article describes the process of building and installing Windows 10 IoT BSP on the Advantech ROM-5722. Check our [release notes](https://forum.aim-linux.advantech.com/t/os-image-release-wiv0003-windows-10-iot-enterprise-on-rom-5722-with-nxp-i-mx-8m-plus/285) for full reviews on the capabilities of Windows 10 on Arm of the i.MX 8M Plus application processor.

**2. Prerequisites**

**Necessary Hardware:**

- ROM-5722 – a SMARC 2.1 Computer-on-Module (COM) with NXP i.MX 8M Plus SOC
- SOM-DB2510 – an evaluation carrier board designed for the Advantech SMARC 2.1 modules
- 1 x 8GB SD card for flashing the OS installer
- 1 x micro USB cable for flashing boot loader
- 1 x power adapter (input: 100 ~ 240V AC 50/60Hz; output: DC 12V 3A; Advan-tech P/N: 96PSA-A36W12R1-3)
- 1 x MIPI to LVDS connector cable; Advantech P/N: XXXXXX
- 1 x MIPI CSI to HDMI board-(ROM-EG56); Advantech P/N:19A6EG5600-01
- 1 x 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 ROM-5722**

- **3-1.Extract the zip file (file name: 20220823.7z) of the image package you downloaded.**

- **3-2. Extract the zip file (ROM5722A1AIM20WIV0001.zip) in the folder and flash firmware into eMMC.**

- **3-3.Prepare one 8GB SD card for flashing OS installer in Linux operating system and Windows 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 ROM-5722 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 Advantech [ROM-5722](https://www.advantech.com/en/products/computer-on-module/rom-5722/mod_11aa0c77-868e-4014-8151-ac7a7a1c5c1b) with NXP i.MX 8M platform is now powered by Windows IoT Enterprise for Arm 64. This unlocks huge potential by bringing the support and manageability of Windows to a previously unattainable class of devices. Likewise, the small footprint of ROM-5722 results in powerful, reduced cost solution capable of running PC apps with state-of-the-art graphics, opening the door to a new range of applications. We are excited to see how our customers leverage Windows10 IoT Enterprise on Advantech solutions powered by NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform. Get started with your new design today!
