28.Dt GPIOKEYS 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm gpiokeys
32.Nd GPIO keys device driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "options FDT"
39.Cd "device gpio"
40.Cd "device gpiokeys"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47gpiokeys_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver provides a way to represent a set of general purpose inputs as a
53.Xr keyboard 4
54device.
55At the moment the driver supports only
56.Xr FDT 4
57based systems.
58The DTS determines what pins are mapped to buttons and what key codes are
59generated for each virtual button.
60The
61.Xr keyboard 4
62device can be used from userland to monitor for input changes.
63.Pp
64On an
65.Xr FDT 4
66based system
67the DTS part for a
68.Nm
69device usually looks like:
70.Bd -literal
71/ {
72
73	...
74
75	gpio_keys {
76		compatible = "gpio-keys";
77
78		btn1 {
79			label = "button1";
80			linux,code = <KEY_1>;
81			gpios = <&gpio 0 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>
82		};
83
84		btn2 {
85			label = "button2";
86			linux,code = <KEY_2>;
87			gpios = <&gpio 0 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>
88		};
89	};
90};
91.Ed
92.Pp
93For more details about the
94.Va gpios
95property, please consult
96.Pa /usr/src/sys/dts/bindings-gpio.txt .
97.Pp
98The
99.Nm
100driver supports two properties for specifying a key code.
101.Pp
102The property
103.Va freebsd,code
104specifies a
105.Fx
106native scancode compatible with
107.Xr kbdmap 5
108keyboard maps.
109.Pp
110The property
111.Va linux,code
112specifies an evdev scancode.
113That scancode is internally translated to a native scancode.
114Note that not all evdev scancodes have corresponding native scancodes.
115If a scancode cannot be translated, then a diagnostic message is printed
116and the input is ignored.
117.Pp
118The property
119.Va label
120is a descriptive name of a button.
121It is used for diagnostic messages only.
122This property is optional.
123If not set, the node name is used in its place.
124.Pp
125The property
126.Va autorepeat
127determines whether autorepeat is enabled for a button.
128.Pp
129The property
130.Va debounce-interval
131defines debouncing interval time in milliseconds.
132If not specified the interval defaults to 5.
