I should note that the board does not show up as an HID on OpenIndiana, the Solaris derivative. I've not investigated further. There are a number of potential causes. I suspect that the root cause lies with the TI driverlib not correctly configuring the USB device. Linux sort of configures it when it connects, but doesn't get it quite correct. OI cfgadm(1m) shows the device as an unconfigured USB hub, but does not show either the mass storage device or the HID. I've not queried the device with CentOS yet but will do that later today.
Linux would be completely unusable if keyboard input when the focus was not in an editor or terminal window caused it to crash. So I think the answer is it's not quite an HID device. It's close enough to trick Linux whereas OI more correctly refuses to accept its claims.
Have Fun!

Just a quick check, does your system work as normal when an
editor
program (gedit, kate, kwrite, LibreOffice Write, or the
like) has the
active focus INSTEAD of the console when you press the
buttons?
