Enable KPP on i.MX7D

Enable KPP on i.MX7D

HW: i.MX7 SabreSD

SW: Android N7.1.1_1.0.0

 

There is KPP module on i.MX7, but NXP reference board didn't have it. We reworked a "keypad" and has the demo.

Signal:

For testing, launch an app in Android that can accept text input. KPP also supports multiple input, the "A" is showed by pressing "shift" + "a".

As a side note,

1. The input device driver is drivers/input/keyboard/imx_keypad.c

2. The input event driver is drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c

Hi JayTu

Did you test the pressing "shift" + " f " and "shift" + " g " ?

If yes, could you show me it in image like above ?

Ko-hey

Let me find some time to check it again next week. Multiple key is having issues on your board?

Hi JayTu

Sorry for late reply.

Did you have time to check it ?

Not on our board, it's on my customer board.

Ko-hey

Hi ko-hey‌,

The test result is shown as below, multiple key can be detected if it's not on the same row.

Hi JayTu

Thank you for testing.

Unfortunately, my customer need multiple key detect on the same row.

The conclusion is i.MX7 can't detect multiple key on the same row.

Am I correct ?

Ko-hey

I think it is a bug but not limitation. You can submit another ticket for it.

Dear Ko-hey,

By any chance, have you submitted a new ticket about this issue?

Please advise.

Thanks and regards!

Hi Paulo Knirsch

Sorry for late reply.

I posted Case:00139023.

Could you follow it ?

What I want to know is whether the workaround need additional hardware or not.

Ko-hey

Attach the patch for fixing multiple key detection on the same row, 0001-Keypad-support-key-detection-at-the-same-row-on-i.MX.patch

Hi JayTu

Thank you for providing the patch.

I want to test the patch but unfortunately, I don't have any environment for test.

So could you test the pressing "shift" + " f " and "shift" + " g " again ?

If yes, could you show me it in image like above ?

Ko-hey

Hi ko-hey‌,

I've tested all the keys, it works correctly.

Hi JayTu

Thank you for quick response.

Could you show me the image like above ?

Also I have additional question.

The workaround in the thread is without any additional hardware.

Am I correct ?

 

I need info that whether user need an additional hardware for detecting multiple keys in the same row or not.

Is it still discussing ?

Ko-hey

Hi ko-hey‌,

There's no need for additional HW rework.

Hi JayTu

Could you show me the image like above ?

I can't test in my environment so I need proof.

Ko-hey

Hi JayTu

Could you follow this thread again ?
