(1/1)

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.

dreamlayers:
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.
