Keypad
The WonderSwan SoC features a 4 by 3 keypad matrix.
I/O Ports
Keypad Scan ($B5)
Scanning is done via writing to and reading from port $B5.
7 bit 0 ---- ---- .iii oooo ||| |||| ||| ++++- Output rows (0-3) +++------ Input rows (4-6)
The standard procedure is to read rows controlled by bit 4, bit 5, then bit 6 in order, shifting their values into one twelve-bit mask like so:
15 bit 8 7 bit 0 ---- ---- ---- ---- .... 4444 5555 6666
Typical keypad scanning implementations introduce a delay between writing to and reading from the matrix, allowing the scanned values to stabilize. For example, one can use the DAA opcode for doing so.
Startup override
On startup, the boot ROM checks whether or not certain output rows are forced high when all input rows are disabled. This triggers a startup override prior to the boot logo:
- Input row 0 - jump to 4000:0000,
- Input row 1 - jump to 4000:0010.
As this override is done before boot ROM lockout, it can be used to dump the boot ROM.
