Re: [QEMU]send key event from monitor

[Mircea Cociuba]

I get that, I also think that is the problem.

How come the current console works then? 

I mean, thinking about it makes sense that qemu "sees" something to send to the bare-metal program, how to do it from the monitor?

That's expected. The 'sendkey' command simulates sending
a *keyboard* event, ie it goes to an emulated keyboard.
That's different from a serial port/UART. Your setup has
no emulated keyboard in it, so the sendkey event will just
go nowhere, I think.
