Hello
I'm researching writing a serial keyboard driver. A picture is starting to
form of what might be inolved, but it's still very cloudy.
The new serial manager documentation mentions this particular use when
describing the
SrmBackgroundOpen.
I'm thinking that a virtual serial driver needs to bewritten which has an
interrupt routine which calls theEvtEnqueueKey when a key comes in on the
serial
port.
The question I have is that SrmBackgroundOpen issupposed to be called from
an Application to open aconnection. Well, I don't really want an
application,
because that introduces the problem of the startup onboot up. So do I need
an
"application" and if so how do you make it start up at boot up, just to
open the serial port in background mode.
A virtual driver solves the problem of how an application gets started on
system bootup,
and provides an interrupt mechanism since the event manager calls finds and
initializes the drivers. It
would be nice if that was all that's needed. Very cloudy picture.
Thanks for any info/examples.
