add a physical keyboard al ipod 5g (añadir un teclado fisico)
« on: September 15, 2008, 12:27:53 PM »
Hi and thanks for a really fantastic work! you're great. I'm from latinamerica so  I hoppe you understand my grammatic isn't perfect.

I just want to know if it would be possible to add a physical keyboard, I saw how to built a superdock for the ipod, and it had a serial port, with the correct software it could be possible, I don't have enough knowlegments about computer's hardware but if someone think it would be possible to do this. I like to help.

This would be likley a hard task,its going to be needed a driver to  make the keyboard to connect and communicate to the player,I think this isn't feasible,its not so bad but it going to take time.

iPodLinux can be set up to allow logins from a terminal (or terminal emulator) via the serial port on some iPods.  However, Rockbox doesn't have a command prompt and it's designed to be controlled via the buttons in the iPod.  Sure, I suppose one could define which characters do which functions, but IMHO it would make more sense to just support the iPod accessory protocol.
