@hasu: Why is using the USART interface not the recommended method any more?
Is there any inherent drawback with it compared to the interrupt method?

With USART method it is not possible to suppport both AT and XT, and to handle keyboards with weird signaling.
You can't use USART method for IBM PC converter for these reasons.

I was working on these for debug my code. I hope these may be useful for someone too.

Sigrok Decoder
You can use this protocol deocoder with sigrok PulseView to see commands and data for debug. The docoder supports only AT protocol, not XT at this time.

Cheap $10-20 logic analyzer that is compatible with sigrok works well for this job. Get one and try. 1MHz sample rate is actually good enough for the protocol.

Or instead of using logic analyzer you can use 'Signal Capture' firmware on your converter hardware to capture signal(this won't always work). See below.

Signal Capture Firmware
With this firmware you can capture signals from keyboards without logic analzyer.

I want to let you know that I am having an issue with the Z150 AT. The online configuration tool is working well, but when I compile from the source code, the keyboard is not working and is stuck in a permanent loop. Here is what I see after flashing from a hex I created myself. The thing is that the online configuration tool is working just fine.

Great. Glad to hear that the latest prebuild firmware works well with Z-150 AT.

OK. Let's discuss about your problem on github.
