Embedded System without Video Adapter but with Keyboard

Dec 18, 2003 1 Replies

I have a system without Video Adapter. However, I need the keyboard device to operate the system via an LCD display.



When I redirect the console to a serial port (which seems to be the usual procedure for systems without VGA adapters) the keyboard is also deactivated.



Does anybody know how to achieve this?



Thank you for any hint!

Hi,

From my point of view, best solution would be usage of the (quite) new input drivers. This way you don't have to read from a tty, but directly from the input device (here: your keyboard). But I don't know if there are drivers available for all kind of keyboards (USB, PS2, ...).

best regards, Reiner
