Function F13-F24 support
« on: June 14, 2011, 12:36:20 pm »
I've designed a keyboard for my customer who have asked for some additional functions key (F22-F24) which are listed in USB_PS2_Scan_Code.pdf as standard keys. However, they don't seem to get to the PC. I'm using PassMark Software to test the key codes & their suggested that the keyboard driver may not be correct. Does anyone know what may be stopping the keys from working?

Just because the keys have assigned codes doesn't mean that the OS supports it. You may need to write a filter driver to support them. A protocol analyzer will tell you if the keypress data is traveling on the bus (but getting ignored by the driver).
