An oft-asked question :) Unfortunately the code required is an entire stack: syscons keyboard/mouse i/f ------------ adb keyboard/mouse drivers ------------ adb bus code ------------ adb host bridge code ------------ cuda/pmu driver ------------ via6522 shift-register messaging .. and to top it off, the whole shebang should really be able to operate in polled mode from top to bottom if DDB is to be usable. I guess it really needs someone focused to get it done, and to date I just haven't had the time :( later, Peter.
