Topic: PS/2 keyboard/mouse on Novena

I'm wondering if it'd be possible to configure one of the UARTs on the Novena as a PS/2 port. I don't know exactly what layers of drivers are involved and if the iMX uarts are configurable enough, but the hardware should simple enough I think? Just seems like a neater way to connect an olde keyboard than using an adaptor...

Re: PS/2 keyboard/mouse on Novena

The PS/2 connector is 5V, while the Novena UART ports are 3.3V.  You might be able to find a PS/2 device that can run at 3.3V, but you'd be better off using a USB adapter.
