Detailed Description

PS/2 Controller.

Initializes the PS/2 devices (Keyboard and optional Mouse), and determines both the scan code and ASCII character of a pressed key from the transmitted make and break codes using the KeyDecoder.

Note: This controller is also known as Intel 8042 (nowadays integrated in the mainboard) or Keyboard Controller. But to avoid confusion with the actual Keyboard and since we use the PS/2-compatible mode to support the Mouse as well, the name PS/2 Controller was chosen for the sake of simplicity.; Since modern PCs sometimes don't have an PS/2 connector, USB keyboards and mice are emulated as PS/2 device with USB Legacy Support.

Function Documentation

void PS2Controller::init ( )

Initialization of connected devices.

All status LEDs of the keyboard are switched off and the repetition rate is set to maximum speed.

bool PS2Controller::fetch ( Key & pressed )

Retrieve the keyboard event.

Retrieves make and brake events from the keyboard. If a valid (non special) key was pressed, the scan code is determined using KeyDecoder::decode into a Key object. Events on special keys like Shift, Alt, CapsLock etc. are stored (in KeyDecoder) and applied on subsequent keystrokes, while no valid key is retrieved.

Mouse events are ignored.

Parameters

pressed Reference to an object which will contain the pressed Key on success

Returns: true if a valid key was decoded

bool PS2Controller::fetch ( Pointer & state )

Retrieve the mouse event.

If a full mouse state was retrieved (all 3 packets have been successfully processed by the MouseDecoder) the new state is retrieved. Keyboard events are not processed.

Note: fetch(Key&) has to be adjusted to not process (instead of ignore) mouse packets, or events might be lost.

Parameters

state Reference to an object which will contain the Mouse Pointer state on success

Returns: true if a valid mouse pointer state was decoded

void PS2Controller::setRepeatRate	(	Speed	speed,
		Delay	delay
	)

Configure the repeat rate of the keyboard.

Parameters

delay	configures how long a key must be pressed before the repetition begins.
speed	determines how fast the key codes should follow each other. Valid values are between `0` (30 characters per second) and `31` (2 characters per second).

void PS2Controller::setLed	(	enum LED	led,
		bool	on
	)

Enable or disable a keyboard LED.

Parameters

led	LED to enable or disable
on	`true` will enable the specified LED, `false` disable

void PS2Controller::drainBuffer ( )

Empties the keyboard buffer.

The keyboard may not send any interrupts if the buffer is not empty. To prevent unhandled keystrokes (for example during boot) the buffer should be emptied once right before allowing keyboard interrupts (even if keystrokes might be lost).
