Description


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).


USB Keyboard Devices

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.
