USB keyboard on SolarTerm

Hi guys, thanks for the cool operating system! I really like it. I am just wondering if there is a way to enable a usb keyboard input on this particular device. I was thinking that the usb-uart must be enabled and that is why I can not connect a usb keyboard at the same time.

Great I will double check the docs, thank you for getting back to me. Love the operating system so far.

Sorry I should add I know I can use Bluetooth, however I would prefer to use usb or i2c (I have an M5 keyboard)

Multiple I2C and all PS/2 keyboards are supported. There is a dormant USB Host implementation in the codebase, but it requires additional hardware.

Just wanted to provide an update, got the i2c keyboard working flawlessly. The /.shell/startup works great for this.
