I’ve just ordered a Doppler and was in the process of following the instructions to set up my laptop ready for deliver when I hit a major hurdle:
Docker isn’t available for Windows 10 Home.
Is it possible to work with a Doppler without using Docker and if so does anyone have any pointers as to how to do so?
Hi @cunabula,
Windows 10 Home seems to be a bit of a challenge. The best way to go there is probably installing Linux as a virtual machine.
Virtualbox is free anyway: https://www.virtualbox.org
Here is an article of somebody doing that: https://medium.com/@mbyfieldcameron/docker-on-windows-10-home-edition-c186c538dff3
A manual install of the tools needed for creating the bitstream seems kind of a challenge.
Another approach would be to run a remote machine in the cloud to create the bitstream images for the FPGA.
For that digitalocean would be one option I think: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/docker
Many thanks for the quick reply @johannes and for the links, I’ll go through them at the weekend. I have been toying with the idea of dual-booting Linux for a while (some other things I do would be better under Linux), this might finally give me the push I need
