.NET Core on Raspberry Pi

Arm32 support for .NET Core is still being brought up but there has been enough progress for people to start playing with it. It's not ready to be used as a developer environment yet but you can publish an application on a developer machine and run it on a Raspberry Pi. These steps have been tested on both a Pi 2 and Pi 3 on Linux and Windows with success.

##Creating an app:

  • Install .NET Core into a supported developer configuration.

  • From the terminal/commandline create a folder named helloworld and go into it.

  • Run dotnet new then dotnet restore then dotnet publish to publish your helloworld app.

  • Run dotnet ./bin/Debug/netcoreapp1.1/publish/helloworld.dll on Linux/OSX or dotnet .\bin\Debug\netcoreapp1.1\publish\helloworld.dll and you should see it print Hello World!.

  • Under ./bin/Debug/netcoreapp1.1/publish or .\bin\Debug\netcoreapp1.1\publish on Windows you need to edit the helloworld.runtimeconfig.json file to update the version to 1.2.0-beta-001291-00.

  • This app is now ready to copy over to any machine that has the 1.2.0-beta-001291-00 version of .NET Core on it.

##Getting the app to run on the Pi.

###Linux (Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libunwind8-dev gettext libicu-dev liblttng-ust-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev uuid-dev

  • Extract the matching tar.gz to a folder on your Pi and cd into that folder in the terminal.

dotnet-ubuntu.14.04-arm.1.2.0-beta-001291-00.tar.gz (Ubuntu 14.04 ARM) dotnet-ubuntu.16.04-arm.1.2.0-beta-001291-00.tar.gz (Ubuntu 16.04 ARM)

  • Create a subfolder called helloworld and copy contents of the publish folder you created on your developer machine into it. The contents should be:
helloworld.deps.json
helloworld.dll
hellohorld.runtimeconfig.json
  • run ./dotnet helloworld/helloworld.dll and you should 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. We're also hopefully very soon going to have daily dev builds people can get to have all the latest fixes. For now I am just pointing to tar.gz's that were built for Ubuntu at a point in time.

###Win10 IoT Core

  • Install Windows 10 IoT Core on your Pi.

  • Extract dotnet-win-arm.1.2.0-beta-001291-00.zip to a folder on your Pi and cd into that folder in the terminal.

  • Add the folder where you extracted it to your path.

  • Create a folder to put your app into and copy contents of the publish folder you created on your developer machine into it which should be:

helloworld.deps.json
helloworld.dll
hellohorld.runtimeconfig.json
  • From that folder run dotnet helloworld.dll and you should see Hello World! from .NET Core running on your Pi!
