- [14. Keyboard Support]
- EMBEDDED BIOS KEYBOARD SUPPORT
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Embedded BIOS provides support for PC and AT keyboards through the 8042
- keyboard controller or the raw 8255 PIO part, including support for the
- "extra" F11 and F12 keys.
-
- OEM-Configurable:
-
- If your system has no keyboard, or if instead you have a special-purpose
- keypad, an OEM-customizable source module can be fitted with custom OEM
- code and enabled with just a single configuration option.
-
- Keyboard Redirection:
-
- Just as video output can be redirected to a COM port, you can also have
- keyboard input redirected to a COM port, so that you can communicate
- with your system through a program like PROCOMM, for example. Keyboard
- I/O can be redirected at three different levels: SETUP screen I/O, debug
- I/O, and general user I/O.
