I have a Linux embedded system running Busybox and need to connect USB keyboard to it. I have compiled the USB keyboard support in the kernel (USB HID support and Input core support). When I connect the keyboard, I get the following message:
hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 2 : USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [046a:0001] on usb2:2.0
When I disconnect it, I get
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:07.2-1 address 2
Therefore I conclude that the drivers are working properly and the only thing I need is to redirect the keyboard to the console. Can anybody tell me how? Is there any device corresponding to the USB keyboard, which could be redirected? How could I create such device (maj. min. numbers etc.)? In my embedded system with Busybox there are only devices which I create by myself, it is not a distribution like RedHat or Mandrake...
I have found a solution of the similar problem for FreeBSD using the kbdcontrol command, but this command is not available in my development system (Mandrake). Is there any utility that could be installed on my embedded system, which will solve my problem?
Thank you Bob
