Do you mean the keyboard on the _target_? If so, you need to write a
driver.

If you mean the keyboard on the host, you need a serial connection
separate from that GDB uses, since you cannot send data to the target
on the same line as the one GDB uses.

Those things aside, I'm pretty sure the functions above should work
(i.e., on a dedicated serial line with a terminal emulator at the host
end).

Please get rid of this part, it's not only annoying, it's totally
bogus.
