Tinypilot Pro keyboard not working in BIOS?

    Hello,

    I have a Tinypilot Pro version 2.3.2
    Everything works perfectly (video streaming and keyboard/mouse emulation)
    However, the keyboard and mouse does not respond during BIOS or boot menu.
    I am using a HP Z2 Tower G5 workstation with Intel Xeon Processor.

    My bios configuration menu (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06914335.pdf).
    I have enabled the USB ports and also searched for any keyboard related option in BIOS if any.
    The error I get after pressing F10 key to enter BIOS via tinypilot.
    Any approach to resolve this?

    ERROR [SENSITIVE] Failed to write key: F10 (keycode=F10). Failed to write to HID interface: /dev/hidg0. Is USB cable connected? [/SENSITIVE]

        Hello @amod! I'm sorry you are having this issue., but thank you for posting your question in our Forum.

        I noticed you are running version 2.3.2. Can you try to SSH in and then run this command from your TinyPilot?

         /opt/tinypilot/scripts/upgrade && sudo shutdown -r now
        

        Also, it would be helpful if you can collect full logs afterwards. This is how you would upload them: TinyPilot web interface > System > Logs > Get Shareable URL (copy the URL and paste it in your response).
