Subject: Interrupt registering for PIO problem in ATMEL chips


> Hello List,
> I have a strange issue with dealing with interrupts in a ATMEL chip as
> described below.
>
> As per the documentations, the peripherals of my board (custom one based
> on AT91SAM9260) are connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC)
> of the ATMEL chip via the Parallel I/O (PIO) chips.
> Also, PIOs can not distinguish between inputs and interrupts, as they

> Now, my problem is I am writing this keypad driver, which is connected

> I am able to read the key press event if I keep reading the PIO lines in

> Now, I need to read the key press events in an interrupt handler (but

>
> The PIOA is connected to pin 2 of AIC, but then I can not install the

Have u looked at driver/input/keyboard, which should
provide some examples
