Hello,
I already posted this message on the raspberry pi forums but it seems more resonable to ask here since I believe that this might be related to xbmc in general.
I have attached a few pushbuttons to the raspberry pi P1-header pins. Then I configured the bcm2708 platform file of the kernel similar to http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewto...=50&t=8842 and rebuilt the kernel with raspbmc's configuration.
After replacing the kernel and it's modules on the SD card, I turned on the pi and tried to hit some buttons.
While my normal usb keyboard worked fine, the GPIO keys didn't. After I shutdown xbmc and got a tty the gpio keys were accepted as usual keyboard input.
Has anybody tried out something similar to control xbmc and might have some advice?
Further thought's:
- Is raspbmc trying to reconfigure GPIO pins and thereby mocking everything up?
Thank you very much in advance and best regards,
Mysterious

GPIO configuration (active low) seems to be ok:
The device handlers are the same for gpio_keys and usb keyboard:
Open file handlers are the same for keyboard and gpio_keys:
With xbmc shut down evtest works ok:
