Not necessarely. I added a flag to AXIS a while ago to not export HAL pins.
It was added in order to run AXIS on a remote computer (not the one with RT 
and HAL).
Haven't tried in a while, so if it doesn't work currently it's probably 
because some new pins have been added which aren't switched out by that 
flag.
I doubt you can run touchy without HAL though, as it's specifically designed 
for that scenario.
