I'm trying out the idea of ​​creating a keyboard driver, but I have a problem:
This is the code, I'm sure it arrives on this label because I printed a letter as soon as I got to StartKeyboard (More was just for testing)


the problem is that when I run this code on qemu it keeps restarting all the time
but if I put the 0xED command in al, it works normal, I wanted to know why this is

You're sending command 0xF4 to the keyboard controller, not the keyboard. Command 0xF4 is one of several commands that tells the keyboard controller to reset the CPU.

And how would I send this command to the keyboard?, do I need this command to receive keyboard data?

Assuming the keyboard is plugged into the first PS/2 port, all you need to do is write it to port 0x60.

If you want to properly initialize the keyboard controller, you'll send several different commands to the keyboard. But you can't properly initialize the keyboard controller until after you initialize USB, so I wouldn't bother right now.
