No problem :)

It's not pretty. You can use it as a reference. It implements home-made 
evdev-like API I used for testing with hacked-up version of tslib:

With u-boot from ports it's not possible. It has very basic USB support 
which does not include SPLIT commands required to communicate
with keyboard. There is Stephen Warren's version of u-boot, last time
I checked it did support keyboard. But in order to make it work with 
ubldr you'll need to change default configuration and add API support
+ some API fixes. If you don't want to go that way you have two options:
- Use serial console to communicate with u-boot if you really need 
    interactive boot process.
- Just put your custom logic to bootcmd in uEnv.txt if it's once-configure
    run-always thing.
