Hello,
We want to use PS/2 keyboard on beagleboard without any PS/2 - USB converter. It will be highly appreciable if someone guide us regarding the same.

We can see “atkbd.c” file in linux kernel for OMAP but didn’t understand how PS/2 keyboard will be interfaced.

Our end objective is to use PS/2 keyboard on beagleboard by using its GPIOs or adding another uC for the same.

I guess you could hook it up to one of the UARTs running
at the correct baud rate and add some driver glue.
