Sun to USB keyboard protocol converter
======================================
PC98 to USB keyboard protocol converter
=======================================
Target MCU is ATMega32u4 but other USB capable AVR will also work.
Supported keyboards: Sun Type 5 Keyboard, CTCSP SHORT TYPE KEYBOARD(CKUB)

Protocol
--------
Singnal: Asynchronous, Negative logic, 1200baud, No Flow control
Frame format: 1-Start bit, 8-Data bits, No-Parity, 1-Stop bit

AVR USART engine expects positive logic while Sun keyboard signal is negative.
To use AVR UART engine you need exteral inverter in front of RX and TX pin.
Otherwise you can software serial routine to communicate the keyboard.

This converter uses software method, you doesn't need any inverter part.


Commands From System To Keyboard
0x01 Reset
Keyboard responds with following byte sequence:
Success: 0xFF 0x04 0x7F
Fail: 0x7E 0x01 0x7F
0x02 Bell On
0x03 Bell Off
0x0A Click On
0x0B Click Off
0x0E LED
followed by LED status byte:
bit: 3 2 1 0
LED: CapsLk ScrLk Compose NumLk
0x0F Layout
Keyboard responds with 'Layout Response' 0xFE 0xXX

Commands From Keyboard To System
0x7F Idle
means no keys pressed.
0xFE Layout Response
0xFF Reset Response(followed by 0x04)
Reference
http://kentie.net/article/sunkbd/page2.htm
http://kentie.net/article/sunkbd/KBD.pdf
Singnal: Asynchronous, Positive logic, 19200baud, Least bit first
Frame format: 1-Start bit(Lo), 8-Data bits, Odd-Parity, 1-Stop bit

This converter uses software method for testing purpose. AVR UART engine will work better.




Build Firmware
--------------
Just use 'make'
$ cd sun_usb

$ cd pc98_usb
$ make

Then, load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer.
