Does the LCD panel of MIMXRT1060-EVK support multi-touch function?

If so, are there suitable examples?

Best regards

Hi

The touch screen controller in the panel supports 5 pens in parallel but doesn't natively support gests (these can however be interpreted from the pens movements in firmware)
The uTasker project's uGLCDLib includes interrupt-driven support for all 5 pens (rather than polling) operation and allows rich-graphics operation without requiring SDRAM.

Attached are two videos showing multiple pens being used - the first in the real HW and the second in the uTasker i.MX RT simulator which also performs real-time touch screen and TFT emulation (emulating all i.MX RT peripherals, interrupts, DMA etc. in approx. real-time) also at https://youtu.be/83-Sc4TqpSc .
I have also attached the (raw) touch screen code to control this (via I2C) to give an idea.
