Dear Vojtech,

I think that a 1:1 mapping between linux keycodes and what keyboard sends
is right, because the scan code to key code conversion is already programmed
and done inside the FPGA code.
And the FPGA code changes with different keyboards attached?
The original OpenCores keyboard controller is a 6 rows x 12 cols keyboard
controller that can be customized for other row/col sizes modifiying
Constants.vhd VHDL file, in which also the translation table is defined, and
for different key disposition schemes both the number of rows and cols can
be changed. We are currently using this controller with a 4x4 key matrix,
and with a different key mapping values, so I thought that it would be
preferable to have the driver mapping fixed to 1:1 and do the mapping in the
VHDL, since in most cases the keyboard using this controller would be
different to the default keyboard defined in the original Contants.vhd VHDL
file.

Regards,

Javier
Hi Vojtech, Will and Dmitry,

How do you think of this driver from Javier?
It works fine on Blackfin arch, but it can also be shared by other platform.
So this driver is useful of the other developers.
Could you please consider merging this driver?

If you need me to resend this patch, please ping me.

Thanks
-Bryan
