I am using that bsp (actually the pc386dx which is identical except that
it does not use the math co-processor). I am using the lastest snapshots
with the latest linux build tools. Give it a go and see how that works. I
used getch (insetad of getc(STDIN) )from the PC keyboard a while ago and
it worked for me.<br>
<br>
i.e<br>
<br>
char c;<br>
c = (char) getch();<br>
<br>
See how that goes for you.<br>
