Elo makes touchscreen displays, monitors, computers and components. Elo has over 25 million touchscreens installed worldwide. Elo Touch Panel Driver.
Touch drivers can be installed onto a Windows Embedded system using either Direct Image Integration or Existing Operating System (Manual) Installation:
- Manual Installation: it may be possible to install the touch driver onto an existing Windows Embedded machine using the standard Windows driver installer. This requires a system with writable media and with write filters properly configured. The installer also requires several Windows components which might be missing on an embedded system.
- If you purchased a Windows Embedded system with a pre-installed operating system and the above requirements are met, choose this driver.
- Direct Image Integration: the driver is integrated with the system image using Windows Embedded Studio or Image Configuration Editor tool set, then the system image is loaded onto the device. This is the preferred installation method, but it requires knowledge of the integration tool set.
- If you are creating a custom system image or have the tools to modify your current image, choose this driver.
Description
The Elotouch driver is a KMDF driver that can work as both a multi-touch driver and a mouse driver. Its architecture is very similar to the WacomKMDF Driver.
The sample drivers share code that is located in the following directories:
The srcinputhiddigicommon directory contains code that is common to the KMDF sample drivers.
The srcinputhiddigiiutil directory contains utility functions that are common to all the HID input sample drivers.
Building the Sample
Use the standard driver build tools in the Windows Driver Kit. In a driver directory, type build. The build script will generate the Elotouch.sys driver.
