The commands are always sent by Host. Command format: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | | | |------------ address | |-------- command type | |---- register bits commands ------------------------------------------------------ - - - - 0 0 0 0 Send Request(reset all devices) A A A A 0 0 0 1 Flush(reset a device) - - - - 0 0 1 0 Reserved - - - - 0 0 1 1 Reserved - - - - 0 1 - - Reserved A A A A 1 0 R R Listen(write to a device) A A A A 1 1 R R Talk(read from a device) The command to read keycodes from keyboard is 0x2C which consist of keyboard address 2 and Talk against register 0. Address: 2: keyboard 3: mice Registers: 0: application(keyobard/mice use to store its data.) 1: application 2: application 3: status and command Communication ------------- This is a minimum information for keyboard communication. See "Resources" for detail.

Attention & start bit: Host asserts low in 560-1040us then places start bit(1). Tlt(Stop to Start): Bus stays high in 140-260us then device places start bit(1). Global reset: Host asserts low in 2.8-5.2ms. All devices are forced to reset. Send request from device(Srq): Device can request to send at commad(Global only?) stop bit. keep low for 300us to request. Keyboard data(register0) This 16bit data can contains 2 keycodes and 2 released flags. First keycode is palced in upper nibble. When one keyocode is sent, lower nibble is 0xFF. Release flag is 1 when key is released. 15 14 . . . . . 8 7 6 . . . . . 0 | |keycode1 | |keycode2 |released(1) |released(1) Keycodes: Scancode consists of 7bit keycode and 1bit release flag. Device can send two keycodes at once. If just one keycode is sent keycode1 contains it and keyocode2 is 0xFF. Power switch: You can read the state from PSW line(active low) however the switch has a special scancode 0x7F7F, so you can also read from Data line. It uses 0xFFFF for release scancode. END_OF_ADB
