A key feature of Meshcentral is that it’s a single place to manage all your devices. From large servers to tiny IoT devices. You do it all in a single place and this, over the internet and anywhere in the world. Today, we are continuing to make Meshcentral a leading tool for IoT management with support for Microsoft Windows for IoT running on Intel® Galileo devices. Last year, Microsoft released a version of Windows that can run on IoT devices like Intel® Galileo along with samples and compiler tools. This allows Windows developers to compile with some changes, existing Windows applications for IoT devices. After some work and help from Rick Edgecombe, we got the Mesh Agent running on this new operating system variant.
The new Mesh Agent is compiled against “MinCore” a subset of the Microsoft Windows API’s. The agent is simplified with some of the normal desktop features removed like remote desktop. This said, the agent runs very well and fully supports WebRTC, file transfers, power actions, traffic relay and much more. It is also fully Intel AMT aware and has limited terminal support. The agent will show up much like any other agent, is self-upgrading and supports the same Mesh API set. This is our 19th port of the agent continuing the tradition of running on pretty much anything. For installation tutorial, take a look at our YouTube video.
In addition, Bryan Roe this week released the 4th version of the WebRTC Microstack with significant boost in transfer performance, improved latency and packet loss handling and more. The WebRTC Microstack is an amazingly compact WebRTC native data stack that allows native C and C# applications to interact directly with browsers and other native applications over the Internet. This latest stack will be added in an upcoming version of the Mesh Agent.

In addition to Meshcentral support for Intel® Galileo with the default Yocto Linux,
we added support Microsoft® Windows for IoT.
You can manage Intel® Galileo devices running Windows IoT over the Internet using Meshcentral.com,
and locally using the Mesh Agent web site on HTTPS port 16990.
Take a look at our YouTube tutorial video on how to get the Mesh Agent working on
Microsoft Windows for IoT. In a few steps, you got a cloud managed Intel® Galileo device.
This week, Bryan Roe significantly updated the WebRTC Microstack with an improved retry and flow control system. In the coming weeks, this new stack will be added to the Mesh Agent for improved performance.
