Hi,
My objective is to create a user application program that will handle
keypad interrupt.
like in my program some method e.g
keyEvent(keyCode)
{
switch(keyCode)
{
case '1':
do some operation;
case 'a':
do some operation;
...............
}
}
But how can get these key event with keycode from omap keypad driver?
How to call omap keypad driver function from user space program?
In normal device driver, there is entry function (like ioctl,read,write
etc) in device driver but
in omap keypad driver code no entry function exists like this.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Devendra

I think you shouldn't call the driver directly and rather use the
evdev interface or read from console. If evdev is enabled in your
kernel, the keypad driver will be accessible through /dev/input/eventX
(for example /dev/input/event0 if it's the only input device).
Your program should open() this node and read() from it data in form
of struct input_event (defined in <linux/input.h>). When read()
returns, probably a key has been pressed and .code contains a key
code.
if (buffer->type == EV_KEY)
switch (buffer->code) {
case KEY_A:
etc, that's what an X server does for example.

Hi,
Thanks for giving such useful idea.
But I have also some doubt.
The omap keypad driver is based on interrupt.
Will this idea also useful for omap keypad driver?
Plz find source code for omap keypad driver from:
/usr/src/armlinux/linux-2.6.16/drivers/input/keyboard/omap-keypad.c
Best Regards,
Devendra

Yes, that driver receives creates /dev/input/event(number) to userspace.
(by calling input_allocate_device() method)
and starts listening irq's from the key presses. When it receives irq,
it checks which key was really pressed and uses
input_report_key() method for passing that information to userspace via
/dev/input/event(number) interface.
Note that in this level, you can desire which key events you send to
userspace. In my device I have for example an joypad
that sends always couple of irq's to driver and sending them directly to
userspace would mess apps like gpe-window manager.
(For me the press to right would generate "up-right" and "bottom-right"
events, and instead of passing them, I only send one event
indicating that "right" key were pressed.)
I have not send that driver to omap list because I am not sure would the
omap-keypad driver be the best location for that code.

Hi,
I am trying to open() and read() device file /dev/input/event0.
But read() system call doesn't return it hanged during that call.
Actually read() for /dev/input/event0 file return struct input_event
through which i want to get keycode.
Please help!
Code for reference is :
int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
.......................
.........................
fd = open(/dev/input/event0,O_RDONLY);
IOCTL(fd,EVIOCGNAME,&devName);
printf("Device name:%s,devName);
IOCTL(fd,EVIOCGPHYS,&location);
printf("Device physical location:%s,version);
struct input_event event[64];
while(1)
{
rd = read(fd,event,sizeof(struct input_event)*64);
for (i=0; i< rd/sizeof (input_event),i++)
{
if( event[i].type == EV_KEY)
{
switch(event[i].code)
{
case KEY_1:
........................
}
}
}
}
}
output is : Device name AT Translated set 2 keyboard
Device physical location: isa0060/serio0/input0
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;after that blocked even while pressing key
reason: read() doesn't return
May be that it not recognizing keyboard.I am using PS2 keyboard.
if this is problem then what is device node for this keyborad?
Thanks
Best Regards,
Devendra
