Issue of PS/2 IP core

[Altera_Forum]

I have implement a porgram which show the key from keyboard on VGA, but now i meet a trouble. it show twice character whenever i press the keyboard. I try to set a breakpoint at the condition if (decode_mode == KB_ASCII_MAKE_CODE );, then everything work properly. But when I remove the break point it show the character twice.  

Can any one advice this?

have you solve the problem?

I am having this same problem. I'm also calling decode_scancode() in a while(1) loop, and it always gives me to make codes (press and release), never any break codes. 

 Anyone else have this issue? My code is essentially the same as ctkhai's   Regards, Jonathon

Hi all, where did you get altera_up_avalon_character_buffer.h? 

 I am not finding this file in my PC at all.

@waiyung, Do you have the University Program IP packages installed? Anything with "_up" in it is referring to University Program.

By the way, all, this is definitely some sort of timing issue. I too got it to work while debugging and stepping through the program, but not running at full 16MHz. I wondering if its managing to pull the same code from the buffer twice before it is cleared or something. I know it's not elegant, but inserting some sleep (somewhere, I can't remember now) did the trick.

Yes, I have UP package installed. But it does not have the header file altera_up_avalon_character_buffer.h 

 I double checked it by searching through my PC. This file is not there. But I found altera_up_avalon_video_character_buffer_with_dma.h  Also, in the system file, I cannot find the character_buffer either. Any idea?
