'''Keyboard Devices'''
  
This unit provides both the Keyboard device interface and the generic USB HID keyboard driver. The keyboard unit also provides the STDIN interface for the Run Time Library (RTL).
+
This unit provides the Keyboard device interface and keyboard API to be used by both drivers and applications.
  
'''USB Keyboard Devices'''
+
The API includes functions to create, register, locate, read, write, control and configure each connected keyboard device.
  
This driver currently uses HID Boot Protocol only and could be redesigned in future to use the HID Report Protocol instead to allow for greater language support etc.
+
The API supports a global keyboard buffer so multiple devices can feed data into a common buffer as well as a buffer per device to allow each device to be used for a specific purpose. For example an application with two separate displays may choose to have a keyboard device to control each one individually.

Description


Ultibo Keyboard Interface unit

Keyboard Devices

This unit provides the Keyboard device interface and keyboard API to be used by both drivers and applications.

The API includes functions to create, register, locate, read, write, control and configure each connected keyboard device.

The API supports a global keyboard buffer so multiple devices can feed data into a common buffer as well as a buffer per device to allow each device to be used for a specific purpose. For example an application with two separate displays may choose to have a keyboard device to control each one individually.
