I have written a driver to read an external switch array. I need to insert these key presses as standard key codes into the tty keyboard buffer. Can someone explain how to do this?

You could translate the key presses into corresponding PS/2 (scan code set 1) bytes and pass them to handle_scancode() which is part of your normal keyboard handler.

google for kbde and kbdd
kbde uses a kernel module to inject keypresses into handle_scancode as someone suggested; kbdd uses /dev/uinput so no kernel module is needed.
