You can find a keypad driver sample in the MAINSTONEIII BSP (PXA270 has a
matrix keypad) which exposes an ordinary keyboard interface: I think it may
be useful

Hi Luca, I am in the same situation. I am in the process of making a custom
keyboard driver for a CEPC (Viamark x86). The keyboard will be a simple
matrix keyboard, but I don't know if I should interface the standard keyboard
or just add code in my driver to determine what button was pressed.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It depends on the complexity of you hardware. You can create a custom
keyboard driver, or a simple driver that sends keyboard messages to a
standard keyboard driver. Take a look at keybd_event().

Thanks Bruce, I will create a simple driver that sends keyboard messages. I
looked into keybd_event() and it seems pretty straight forward.
