Well I just checked things with halscope and some keys are working
perfectly but others are not.

Another problem I find is that matrix_kb is always sensing row 3/col 1 as
true. I unplugged the connector from the P2 port on the 7i73 and the same
happens. I have firmware number 14 installed on the board. Jumpers are ok
for 8x8 matrix (w5 up and w6 down).

Should I upgrade the firmware just to check ?

What I find strange is that halscope is detecting the change in the keycode
pin.
