-==Test==
-* use ''target/demos/keypad_test/'' test tool
-* If you have a graphical LCD connected to your board (= virtual terminal), then you should see what you type.
-* If you don't have any virtual terminal, but only the serial console:
- # cat /sys/class/input/input0/event0/dev
-:64
-If corresponding device node in /dev/input/ is not existing, then:
- # mkdir -p /dev/input
- # mknod /dev/input/event0 c 13 64
- # cat /dev/input/event0
-Then you should see weirds characters when pressing keyboard keys:
- �,~~_�,}�}�3T,QToT6,TT�,�;��, � �
