Linux Quick Start Guides Windows Quick Start Guides Note to Windows Developers: While our touchscreens are Linux-based – that doesn’t mean you need to be a Linux developer to use them. Our solution allows developers to use Windows GUI tools to develop their application and then load it into our display controller to run.
