Keyboard has no response

Former Member

Hi,

I successfully booted my Mini ITX with Avnet_Mini-ITX_7z100_2015_2_1_BSP and Zynq_Mini-ITX_7100_PetaLinux from the SD card. Unfortunately, the key presses from my keyboard are not being received by the PetaLinux promt. I am using kermit on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Here is my kermit configuration file:
set line /dev/ttyUSB0
set speed 115200
set flow control none
set carrier-watch off
connect

Please let me know if anyone has advice to solve this issue.

Thank you.

    Hi vinny,

    Please bear with me as I want to make sure that we have the basics covered here.

    Are you seeing terminal output within Kermit on your console while the board is booting?  If not, double check that you are connected into port J7 and NOT the USB-JTAG port?

    If you are seeing terminal output from Linux but yet none of the characters typed come back, could it still be a configuration issue with Kermit?

    Have you tried another terminal application to verify that there is not a problem with your Mini-ITX hardware (specifically the USB-UART).  One application that I have used successfully is Minicom.

    I ran into some permissions problems with setting it up but once those are overcome, it actually works very well for me.

    Check out this thread here for further details:
