Hello, 

I am working with BF548 EZ-Kit and uClinux-dist-2009R1-RC6 and developing an

application with QT. I can run almost any of QT examples and I didnt have any problem

to get a serial mouse working with this examples.

My problem is to get keyboard working with QT.

My thought was to use the serial console as a keyboard input for the QT aplication.

My console is represented by /dev/ttyBF1. With cat /dev/ttyBF1 i was able to get the

characters send over the console.

I tried to export the keyboard variable as follows:

export QWS_KEYBOARD=tty:/dev/tty

export QWS_KEYBOARD=tty:/dev/ttBF1

export QWS_KEYBOARD=Auto:/dev/ttyBF1

But it didnt work.

Is my thought wrong? How can i use my console as input in Qt aplication?

I also tried a USB keyboard but without results. I read some posts here in this forum

but nothing really helped. Does anybody managed to get a usb keyboard working with QT

examples?

UClinux recognizes the keyboard, i can successfully run the event_test and i can use

the keyboard in the console displayed on an LCD display. But nothing happen in any QT

Demo/Example.

The keyboard is listed under /dev/input/event1, so i tried to

export QWS_KEYBOARD=USB:/dev/input/event1, i did try some other options like

/dev/tty etc. but i couldnt find any working configuration. I did try to define a new device with mknod 

and i could run the event_test with this device, but it didnt have any effect.

Do you guys have any thoughts / help for me!

Thanks a lot,

Juraj

We are not QT expert. Please look result in qt document or help forum.   qt.nokia.com/doc/4.1/

But, you can check in advance if you selected Virtual terminal support in your kernel configuration.
