F5529 and HID Keyboard

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Does anyone know how to set up a MSP430F5529 as a standard HID keyboard?  Example 7 sets it up as a HID mouse but I am not sure how to do it for a keyboard.

    Sorry I can't contribute too much since it has been a while since I've looked at the 5529's USB tool software.  I recall they may have had some kind of descriptor generation tool available.  HID devices really mainly differ in their USB descriptor, so if you started with a mouse example, it shouldn't be too hard to just make a new keyboard type descriptor with a software tool and implement the small changes to the HID code on the MSP430 to make it work as a keyboard HID device.

    There may even be already done example code somewhere, but I don't recall whether that exists or not.

     

    The 5529 could work as a similated keyboard or part of something like a keyboard to IR or LPRF converter, though lacking dedicated key scanning circuitry, I suppose it isn't really intended to be cost effective and appealing to the mass market as a full size keyboard controller though I'm sure you could make it into one with some effort if you needed to do so for a custom application.
