Abstract:
Data input from a USB keyboard or mouse to a USB host controller is transformed by an SM-BIOS into data corresponding to a PS/2 keyboard/mouse, and then transferred to the I/O port (60h/64h) of a standard bus interface via the shadow port of a KBC. The KBC generates IRQ1 (IRQ12) similar to the case wherein it receives data from the PS/2 keyboard or mouse, thereby starting a keyboard driver.
