.NET Core on Raspberry Pi

Arm32 support for .NET Core is still being brought up, but there are now daily runtime builds that are ready to use. There is no SDK that runs on ARM32 yet, but you can publish an application that will run on a Raspberry Pi.

These steps have been tested on a RPi 2 and RPi 3 with Linux and Windows.

Creating an app:

Install .NET Core 2.0 SDK into a supported developer configuration.
From the terminal/commandline create a folder named helloworld and go into it.
Run dotnet new console
You can find helloworld.csproj file is created under current directory.
Edit the helloworld.csproj file to look like this (Note the version may be newer for RuntimeFrameworkVersion but not lower than 2.0.0-beta-001620-00).

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeFrameworkVersion>2.0.0-beta-001620-00</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>
    <RuntimeIdentifiers>win8-arm;ubuntu.14.04-arm;ubuntu.16.04-arm</RuntimeIdentifiers>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

Make sure you have a nuget.config file next to your csproj that includes the dotnet-core myget feed: <add key="dotnet-core" value="https://dotnet.myget.org/F/dotnet-core/api/v3/index.json" />.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="dotnet-core" value="https://dotnet.myget.org/F/dotnet-core/api/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Run dotnet restore.
Run dotnet publish -r <runtime identifier> for example dotnet publish -r win8-arm to publish the application for windows and dotnet publish -r ubuntu.16.04-arm for ubuntu 16.04 running on Raspberry Pi.
Under ./bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/<runtime identifier>/publish or .\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.0\<runtime identifier>\publish you will see the whole self contained app that you need to copy to your Raspberry Pi.

Getting the app to run on the Pi.

Linux (Ubuntu)

Install Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 on your Pi.
Install the prereq packages for .NET Core.
Copy your app to the Raspberry Pi and execute run ./helloworld to see Hello World! from .NET Core running on your Pi!

Note: While it is possible to build the product on the Pi, it isn't easy today and it's slow. We are working on making it very easy to do.

Win10 IoT Core

Install Windows 10 IoT Core on your Pi.
Copy your app to the Raspberry Pi and execute run helloworld.exe to see Hello World! from .NET Core running on your Pi
