First time apalis TK1 boot problems with keyboard/mouse

Technical Support

I am attempting to boot TK1, ixora board for the first time.

It is connected to a monitor through HDMI, and keyboard/mouse through USB

Once the linux OS boots up, the touch screen calibration kicks in and it screws up the mouse configuration. When the timer is about half full, it recognises a touch and attempts to calibrate. Since there is no touch screen to provide inputs, the touch screen calibration program closes down after the timer runs out. But now the mouse pointer starts dancing wildly. After a while, it stops but left clicks are not recognised.

Through out the whole process, the keyboard is not recognised at all. If it was, I can try to abort the touch screen calibration program.

Is there anything I am doing wrong here ?

Cheers

Only resistive touchscreen devices are affected by calibration. Issue is probably somewhere else.
What carrier board and BSP version are you using? Does it happen every boot?

Thanks for your help. I see. Currently the board is connected to a monitor through HDMI.

I am using Ixora. How do I check the BSP version ? If it helps, the board was delivered just last week.

After boot, you’ll see this on serial console:

last line is a BSP version.
If you’re using ixora version 1.1A, USB port X7 (the single one) is not connected to the TK1 SoC (It’s connected to K20 MCU) and is not available in linux.

Thanks for the instructions. Our BSP version is

In case it helps, here is the output of lsusb showing both the mouse and keyboard.

However the left click on the mouse doesnt work and the keyboard doesnt work at all.

You can try connecting just the keyboard and then just the mouse directly to upper USB port in X8 connector and see if there is any change in behaviour

I tried, but it doesnt change the behaviour.

When only the mouse is connected I get the following logs, and only the right click is recognised.

When only the keyboard is connected I get the following logs, but no keypresses are recognised.

I flashed the latest image on the board and now the mouse is working great !

The keyboard is still not being recognised. Any ideas on how I might be able to troubleshoot this ?

10

Can you try with different USB keyboard? It maybe some quirkiness of apple keyboard, the microframe messages are unexpected.

Sure, I have ordered one. Will update once I receive it. Thanks.
