USB Pi Zero keyboard #184

Open billybicep opened 3 years ago

billybicep commented 3 years ago

I have a 3 key USB keyboard which is hosted on a Raspberry Pi Zero, this enables you to map any key to the 3 keys. I have these mapped as F10 and F11 to initiate Freeze or the Menu. The keys work as mapped when on any windows machine but dont work when i plug it into the USB on my Ultimate 64. Is this due to the U64 needing a HID driver as mentioned in issue #171 ?

Thanks.

Yes, that is precisely correct. You can also change your USB descriptors to report a BOOTMODE keyboard that uses a standard 8-byte report. Then it will work.

OK thanks Gideon, I'll ask the Pimoroni team (they make the device) if they can help, i have no idea when it gets this technical!

@billybicep My best guess is that you should change "something" here https://github.com/pimoroni/keybow-firmware/blob/master/keybow/gadget-hid.c But my usb descriptor knowledge is a little dusty and needs a brush-up Please keep us (me) posted on the progress with the Piramoni folks :-)

looks like the setup is all compiled into a .img file, i'll see what Pimoroni come back with.

No response from Pimoroni, no response from the pi Forums other than someone who seems to think i'm asking for the holy grail. I'll leave this until hopefully the U64 has a HID driver. Thanks.
