30.Dt GPIOKEYS 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm gpiokeys
34.Nd GPIO keys device driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following lines in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "options FDT"
41.Cd "device gpio"
42.Cd "device gpiokeys"
43.Ed
44.Pp
45Alternatively, to load the driver as a
46module at boot time, place the following line in
47.Xr loader.conf 5 :
48.Bd -literal -offset indent
49gpiokeys_load="YES"
50.Ed
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54driver provides a way to represent a set of general purpose inputs as a
55.Xr keyboard 4
56device.
57At the moment the driver supports only
58.Xr FDT 4
59based systems.
60The DTS determines what pins are mapped to buttons and what key codes are
61generated for each virtual button.
62The
63.Xr keyboard 4
64device can be used from userland to monitor for input changes.
65.Pp
66On an
67.Xr FDT 4
68based system
69the DTS part for a
70.Nm
71device usually looks like:
72.Bd -literal
73/ {
74
75	...
76
77	gpio_keys {
78		compatible = "gpio-keys";
79
80		btn1 {
81			label = "button1";
82			linux,code = <KEY_1>;
83			gpios = <&gpio 0 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>
84		};
85
86		btn2 {
87			label = "button2";
88			linux,code = <KEY_2>;
89			gpios = <&gpio 0 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>
90		};
91	};
92};
93.Ed
94.Pp
95For more details about the
96.Va gpios
97property, please consult
98.Pa /usr/src/sys/dts/bindings-gpio.txt .
99.Pp
100The
101.Nm
102driver supports two properties for specifying a key code.
103.Pp
104The property
105.Va freebsd,code
106specifies a
107.Fx
108native scancode compatible with
109.Xr kbdmap 5
110keyboard maps.
111.Pp
112The property
113.Va linux,code
114specifies an evdev scancode.
115That scancode is internally translated to a native scancode.
116Note that not all evdev scancodes have corresponding native scancodes.
117If a scancode cannot be translated, then a diagnostic message is printed
118and the input is ignored.
119.Pp
120The property
121.Va label
122is a descriptive name of a button.
123It is used for diagnostic messages only.
124This property is optional.
125If not set, the node name is used in its place.
126.Pp
127The property
128.Va autorepeat
129determines whether autorepeat is enabled for a button.
130.Pp
131The property
132.Va debounce-interval
133defines debouncing interval time in milliseconds.
134If not specified the interval defaults to 5.
