Linux Braille Console

Linux Braille Console
|

=====================
|
||||
|
||||
To get early boot messages on a braille device (before userspace screen
|
||||
readers can start), you first need to compile the support for the usual serial
|
||||
console (see serial-console.txt), and for braille device (in Device Drivers -
|
||||
Accessibility).
|
||||
console (see :ref:`Documentation/serial-console.txt <serial_console>`), and
|
||||
for braille device
|
||||
(in :menuselection:`Device Drivers --> Accessibility support --> Console on braille device`).
|
||||
|
||||
Then you need to specify a console=brl, option on the kernel command line, the
|
||||
format is:
|
||||
Then you need to specify a ``console=brl``, option on the kernel command line, the
|
||||
format is::
|
||||
|
||||
console=brl,serial_options...
|
||||
|
||||
where serial_options... are the same as described in serial-console.txt
|
||||
where ``serial_options...`` are the same as described in
|
||||
:ref:`Documentation/serial-console.txt <serial_console>`.
|
||||
|
||||
So for instance you can use console=brl,ttyS0 if the braille device is connected
|
||||
to the first serial port, and console=brl,ttyS0,115200 to override the baud rate
|
||||
to 115200, etc.

|
||||
|
||||
By default, the braille device will just show the last kernel message (console
|
||||
mode). To review previous messages, press the Insert key to switch to the VT
|
||||
review mode. In review mode, the arrow keys permit to browse in the VT content,
|
||||
page up/down keys go at the top/bottom of the screen, and the home key goes back
|
||||
:kbd:`PAGE-UP`/:kbd:`PAGE-DOWN` keys go at the top/bottom of the screen, and
|
||||
the :kbd:`HOME` key goes back
|
||||
to the cursor, hence providing very basic screen reviewing facility.
|
||||
|
||||
Sound feedback can be obtained by adding the braille_console.sound=1 kernel

|

parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
For simplicity, only one braille console can be enabled, other uses of
|
||||
console=brl,... will be discarded. Also note that it does not interfere with
|
||||
the console selection mechanism described in serial-console.txt

|
||||
|
||||
For now, only the VisioBraille device is supported.
