Hello Gents,
Just wanted to know if the the development moved since December 2008 around this. To proceed with something as simple as installing windows from CD one need to react about "Press any key to boot from cdrom".
Thank you!

There has been nothing implemented yet.
I do believe that supporting USB keyboards is a requirement. It's still a work in progress though.

Hello Kevin,
I am right now working around enabling the sio controller on the truxton (SMSC SCH5027D) so I can try to install windows in fact, "Press any key to boot from CDROM".
The main board we are designing do not have any superio controllers so usb kbd/mouse is something we will need to implement here. However, I will take the easy way, a SMI handler. I am waiting another document from the Intel dudes providing some guidelines about this specific usb keyboard support via SMI. This is going to be very HW specific unfortunately.
It took 8 weeks to receive the last document we have requested. So I guess I will be asked to place the project on the side until we get the document. We should receive our first hardware prototype somewhere late October this year.
Am going to send patches to the list as soon the superio controller is supported as this is going to be end of our first engineering milestone.
Thank you,
Arnaud
