In general a touch screen that is recognized by Linux and generates EV_ABS events will work with JavaFX.

Raspberry Pi OS

Tested:

• Raspbian Jessie

• Raspbian Jessie Lite

  • Note: is missing the Pango package for running OpenJFX. Easily fixed with "apt-get install libpango-1.0-0:armhf libpangoft2-1.0-0:armhf"
• NOOBS (v1_4_1) installing:

  • Raspbian Debian Wheezy (2015-05-05)

When the raspi_config options are displayed, there is one critical item for OpenJFX. Under "Advanced Option" choose "Memory Split" and set the value to 128 or 256. This is the memory allocated for GPU use. OpenJFX can use quite a bit of memory for textures and shaders. The amount available to OpenJFX cannot be queried from the OS, and OpenJFX cannot always handle the failure gracefully. You can always run the raspi_config tool after install to change the value.

The tested Raspbian has java with JFX preinstalledJessie images were tested with jdk-8u65-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz, which is downloadable from the Oracle JDK8 download page. Note that this version of the JDK does not come with an integrated JavaFX. JavaFX can be obtained by building OpenJFX for ARM, or by using one of the community builds.
