5. First steps
By design, all Yoctopuce modules are driven the same way. Therefore, user's guides for all the
modules of the range are very similar. If you have already carefully read through the user's guide of
another Yoctopuce module, you can jump directly to the description of the module functions.
5.1. Prerequisites
In order to use your Yocto-Display module, you should have the following items at hand.
A computer
Yoctopuce modules are intended to be driven by a computer (or possibly an embedded
microprocessor). You will write the control software yourself, according to your needs, using the
information provided in this manual.
Yoctopuce provides software libraries to drive its modules for the following operating systems:
Windows, macOS X, Linux, and Android. Yoctopuce modules do not require installing any specific
system driver, as they leverage the standard HID driver
1
provided with every operating system.
Windows versions currently supported are: Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows
7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are supported. The programming
library is also available for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which is supported by all flavors
of Windows 10, including Windows 10 IoT. Yoctopuce is frequently testing its modules on Windows 7
and Windows 10.
MacOS versions currently supported are: Mac OS X 10.9 (Maverick), 10.10 (Yosemite), 10.11 (El
Capitan), macOS 10.12 (Sierra), macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and macOS 10.14 (Mojave). Yoctopuce
is frequently testing its modules on macOS 10.14.
Linux kernels currently supported are the 2.6 branch, the 3.x branch and the 4.x branch. Other
versions of the Linux kernel, and even other UNIX variants, are very likely to work as well, as Linux
support is implemented through the standard
libusb
API. Yoctopuce is frequently testing its modules
on Linux kernel 4.15 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).
Android versions currently supported are: Android 3.1 and later. Moreover, it is necessary for the
tablet or phone to support the
Host
USB mode. Yoctopuce is frequently testing its modules on
Android 7.x on a Samsung Galaxy A6 with the Java for Android library.

The HID driver is the one that takes care of the mouse, the keyboard, etc.
