Linux Command Line on Windows

[dhylands]

You can't yet flash a pyboard. There were also some finagling to get the command line working with BitDefender's firewall.

I guess I need a RPi flasher (or something) that can sit on the network

Does usocket work on micropython unix build, running under Win 10?

[dhylands]

I would expect so (I've not really used usocket anywhere so I don't have any code to test it with).

ping (which uses ICMP) requires bash to run as Administrator.

The regular networking stuff worked fine once I turned off he BitDefender firewall (and I got some instructions from BitDefender on how to get thngs working - I just need to test). I was able to sudo apt-get install stuff, which means that regular socket stuff is working.

Excellent, I'll try to get the command line installed myself and test. Thanks.

Had to wait for general availability of the anniversary update, but about 15 minutes of git cloning and resolving dependencies later ... unix micropython runs on windows, and usocket works perfectly.

"Fantastic" for those of us who for whatever reason are stuck on windows, much less hassle than a VM.
