1. Article purpose[edit | edit source]

The purpose of this article is to:

  • list the touchscreen hardware components that might be integrated in the different boards
  • link these components to the corresponding software framework(s)
  • point to the datasheet(s) of these components
  • explain, when necessary, how to configure these components

2. Software frameworks[edit | edit source]
