After that the keyboard enters FC command mode and waits for parameter data from host so that it doesn't send any scancode until you send 'FF'(End of FC command mode). Keyboard ID ------------------------------- Model 100 50-key A2h Model 200 62-key A3h Model 300 77-key A4h Model 400 107-key A5h Japanese/Chinese 102-key A6h Connector --------- Keyboard Plug from front DSUB-9 ------------- \ N 2 3 4 5 / \ N N N N / --------- 2 GND 3 VCC 5V 4 DATA 5 CLOCK N No connection/No pin. Keyboard to Host ---------------- Data bits are LSB first and Pairty is odd. Clock has around 60us high and 30us low part. ____ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _______ Clock \_____/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Data ____/ X____X____X____X____X____X____X____X____X____X________ Start 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 P Stop Start bit: can be long as 300-350us. Inhibit: Pull Data line down to inhibit keyboard to send. Timing: Host reads bit while Clock is hi.(rising edge) Stop bit: Keyboard pulls down Data line to lo after 9th clock. Host to Keyboard ---------------- Data bits are LSB first and Pairty is odd. Clock has around 60us high and 30us low part. ____ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ ________ Clock \______/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ ^ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ Data ____|__/ X____X____X____X____X____X____X____X____X____X \___ | Start 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 P Stop Request by host Start bit: can be long as 300-350us. Request: Host pulls Clock line down to request to send a command. Timing: After Request keyboard pull up Data and down Clock line to low for start bit. After request host release Clock line once Data line becomes hi. Host wirtes a bit while Clock is hi and Keyboard reads while low. Stop bit: Host releases or pulls up Data line to hi after 9th clock and waits for keybaord pull down the line to lo. Scancodes --------- Keyboard doesn't send Break code for all keys except for Alt by default. 6019284 62-key: ,-----------------------------------------------------------. | `| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8| 9| 0| -| =|???|BS | |-----------------------------------------------------------| |Tab | Q| W| E| R| T| Y| U| I| O| P| ￠| \| PD2| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |Ctrl | A| S| D| F| G| H| J| K| L| ;| '| {}| PD3| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |Shif| <>| Z| X| C| V| B| N| M| ,| ,| /|???|Shift | |-----------------------------------------------------------| |Reset|blk|Alt | Space |Alt |blk|Enter| `-----------------------------------------------------------' +----------+---------------------+----------+----------+ |` 00|PD1 04|Caps 20|LShift 30|Reset 31| |1 18|q 05|a 21|<> 3E|Rblank 41| |2 19|w 06|s 22|z 32|Alt 3F| |3 1A|e 13|d 23|x 33|Space 40| |4 10|r 14|f 24|c 34|Alt 3F| |5 11|t 15|g 25|v 35|Lblank 42| |6 12|y 16|h 26|b 36|Enter 2F| |7 08|u 17|j 27|n 37| | |8 09|i 01|k 28|m 38| | |9 0A|o 02|l 29|, 39| | |0 0F|p 03|; 2A|. 3A| | |- 1F|￠ 1B|' 2B|/ 3B| | |= 0D|\ 1C|{} 2C|??? 3C| | |??? 0C|PD2 1D|PD3 2D|RShift 3D| | |BS 0E| | | | | +----------+---------------------+----------+----------+ Bit7 is 'press flag' which set 1 on press and 0 on release when break code is enabled. NOTE: When break code is enabled the key sends scancode with setting 7th bit on press and without it on release. That is, '`' sends 80h on press and 00h on release. Keyboard command ---------------- Keyboard accepts these commands from host. Description Entry point ----------------------------------------------------------- FF Soft Reset 0008h FE Resend 00e8h FD Buzzer(emits a short beep) 00edh FC Set Key Flag 00f6h FB Soft Reset 0008h FA Reset 0000h Keyboard response ----------------- Keyobard sends these bytes to host. Description Entry point ----------------------------------------------------------- FE Overflow(key event/receive data) 00c5h, 0346h Memory test error 0224h FD Command out of bound 00d8h Key out of bound 7E Read/Parity error in receive from host 00bch 80-FB? scan code(make) 00-7B? scan code(break) note: Alps model spits scan code 7B(FB) at least. Set Key Flag command(FC) ------------------------ After 'Power on Reset' firmware enters this command mode and waits for data from host, so that you don't need to send 'FC' and it doesn't send any scancode until you send 'FF'. With Alps models you need to send 'FC' command to enter this mode. Data sent from host: bit: 7 6 ... 0 en | | | `-----`--- scan code `------------- enable bit(0: enable repeat, 1: enable break) 00-7B? Enable repeat 80-FB? Enable break FE Resend(011ah) no need to use FF End(0114h) exits FC command mode. Response from keyboard: FD Out of bound - Invalid scancode -- OK - No response means that command is accepted. Examples: To enable break code of all keys. FC 80 81 ... FB FF
