Is Photon necessary on the Total5200

Hi,

I have the Total5200. Is it necessary to download Photon to the Total5200
to use the display. Or is Photon only responsible for the touch-screen?

My next problem is, how can I show some output on the screen? I have
installed the GRAPHICS driver…

io-graphics -ds1d13806 xres=640,yres=480,bitpp=16,photon -pphoton

Now I need a sample C/C++ programm.

thx for the help

You will need to run Photon and then io-graphics.

You can use photon apps like phcalc (…/usr/photon/bin) to test with.
