Limit keyboard interrupts
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2012 5:00 pm
Greets,
I'm developing a project (Minix 3) which uses keyboard, and I need to make my own interrupt handler.
What I did was :
- Disable default interrupt handler :
- Make my own (reads the scancode) :
Then I tested :
What happened was that the program outputed "waiting for key" and nothing else.
Supposedly, if I don't press a key, there's no interrupt and it should also print "passed" , but it doesn't , so it's like there's always an interruption from the keyboard pending that makes the program pause
Does anybody have an idea to solve this problem ??
Thanks a lot
I'm developing a project (Minix 3) which uses keyboard, and I need to make my own interrupt handler.
What I did was :
- Disable default interrupt handler :
Code: Select all
sys_irqsetpolicy(KB_IRQ, (IRQ_REENABLE | IRQ_EXCLUSIVE), &hook);
sys_irqenable(&hook);
Code: Select all
unsigned long state, data;
int c = 0;
while(c<2){ //Waits 100 ms for input
sys_inb(STAT_REG, &state); //Check 0x64
if (CHECK_BIT(state,0)) { //bit 0 set -> buffer ready for reading
if (CHECK_BIT(state,5))
return -1;
else
sys_inb(DATA_REG, &data);
if (!CHECK_BIT(state,6) && !CHECK_BIT(state,7)) // if no errors, return the code
return data;
else if (data == 0xFE)
return data;
else if (data == 0xFC)
return data;
else
return -1;
}
usleep(50000);
c++;
}
Code: Select all
int ipc_state;
message msg;
int irq_set = subscribe_int(); // The function with those two lines above
while (i) {
printf("waiting for key\n");
if (driver_receive(ANY, &msg, &ipc_state) != 0) {
printf("driver reception failed\n");
continue;
}
if (is_ipc_notify(ipc_state)) {
switch (_ENDPOINT_P(msg.m_source)) {
case HARDWARE:
if (CHECK_BIT(msg.NOTIFY_ARG,0)) { //bit 0 set -> interrupt from keyboard
code = read_kb(); // The data returned from function above
if (code == 0x81) // Esc
i = 0;
if (code >> 7 == 1)
printf("Breakcode: 0x%2x\n", code);
else
printf("Makecode: 0x%2x\n", code);
}else printf("passed\n");
break;
default:
break;
}
} else {}
printf("end of cicle\n");
}
unsubscribe_int();
Supposedly, if I don't press a key, there's no interrupt and it should also print "passed" , but it doesn't , so it's like there's always an interruption from the keyboard pending that makes the program pause
