[Armadillo:00587] Re: Read keyboard characters without echoing

[Fumito Morishima]

Hello,

I'm not so sure what exactly you'd like to do, but how about these steps
below:

1. Configure the kernel to enable input devices layer.
 Device Drivers --->
    Input device support --->
       <*> Event interface

2. Modify /etc/inittab to stop getty on VGA(login from /dev/ttyAM0 or
telnet).
 #::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 <-- comment out

3. Make /dev/input directory and make /dev/input/event0 device file to
get the event from keyboard, like below.
 a9# mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64

4. Check whether you can see the keyboard event(USB keyboard must be
connected).
 a9# od -x /dev/input/event0

Regards,

Fumito
