sun-keyboard

Provided by

sun-keyboard

Class Hierarchy

conf-object → log-object → sun-keyboard

Interfaces Implemented

log_object, keyboard, serial_device

Description

The sun-keyboard device simulated a Sun Type 5 keyboard. It should be connected to a serial device for output, and to a graphics console to receive actual keyboard input.

Attributes

Attributes inherited from class conf-object

attributes, classname, component, iface, name, object_id, queue

Attributes inherited from class log-object

access_count, log_buffer, log_buffer_last, log_buffer_size, log_group_mask, log_groups, log_level, log_type_mask

Attribute List

device

Optional attribute; read/write access; type: Object.

The serial device that the keyboard is connected to. The device must implement the serial-device interface.

key_event

Pseudo attribute; write-only access; type: Integer; integer indexed; indexed type: unknown type.

Write-only. Forces keyboard events. Writing value (an integer) to index i forces key number i to be pressed if value is 0, or released if value is 1.

keyboard_buffer

Optional attribute; read/write access; type: [i*].

The keyboard input buffer.

keys_down

Optional attribute; read/write access; type: [i*].

List of keys currently pressed.

led_byte_next

Optional attribute; read/write access; type: Integer.

Set if keyboard has received a SET_LED command and is waiting for the data byte.

recorder

Required attribute; read/write access; type: Object.

Recorder object defining the recorder interface.

send_pc_codes

Optional attribute; read/write access; type: Integer.

This is a workaround for Linux kernel 2.4 that interprets key-codes from the Sun keyboard as PC (PS2) scan-codes, although the keyboard was correctly identified as a Sun Type 5 keyboard. (It is not yet verified if this is a Linux or Simics problem).
