Regards Ruslan Segursky

No, there is no image having a desktop environment pre-installed. You can find instructions to install a desktop here Can I make a file share using the memory card of IoT 2050, maybe using Linux Samba file system? Yes, you can install e.g. samba via apt install. Just checkout any example for Debian, this can be done with the IOT2050 as well. Any one used the IoT serial port to virtualize a RS232 on a server for exemple? There is several ways to use the RS232 port. The easiest way is using node-red. What do you mean with "virtualize a RS232 on a server"? Best regards!

What is definitely possible is to use the IOT2050 as a Gateway. Transfer data by whatever Ethernet-based protocol to the IOT2050 and from there via RS232 to another device. Best regards!
