Yes, I'm kind of aware of that.

$ ls -la sfw/rtems/5.1/i386-rtems5/pc686/lib/libbsd.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 karel karel 104094278 Aug 31 19:57
sfw/rtems/5.1/i386-rtems5/pc686/lib/libbsd.a
karel at silence:~$ find sfw/rtems/5.1 -name 'input.h'
karel at silence:~$

so looks like libbsd for BBB and for pc686 is really a bit different.

I'm just playing with RTEMS stuff on PC. The hope is to get grab of the
platform in order to create some nice demo in Haskell -- which port is
slowly progressing.

So yes, first framebuffer output would be nice to have and then
including input devices. Testing on PCs, notebooks with their keyboards
and touchpads/trackpoints and desktop PC with USB keyboard/mouse and if
that's not supported well, then even with PS/2 keyboard/mouse.

I'm hoping in standard VESA framebuffer on pc686 BSP to work well for this.

Thanks,
