Logical Device Drivers

Provides software components that implement the interface between Symbian platform and peripherals.

Device Drivers are software components that implement the interface between Symbian platform and peripherals. Symbian platform provides drivers for many phone peripherals.

When you create a phone, you must:

• make a decision which drivers are needed for your phone.

• create a port of the code that Symbian platform provides to work with your phone hardware.

This section describes the logical device drivers, the kernel trace tool and the run mode debugger.

• Ethernet Driver
  Tutorial set specifically designed to make it easier to port an application that runs over the ethernet connection.
• Kernel Trace Tool
  The Kernel Trace Tool allows developers to trace Kernel commands.
• Local Media Subsystem
  Provides the logical device driver for the internal and removable storage media on a phone.
• Run Mode Debugger
  The Run Mode Debugger provides a platform security controlled interface for debug tools vendors, used to create application debug tools.
• Serial Port Driver
  The Serial Port Driver is a device driver that handles serial port hardware (create the physical channel). This section describes how to create a port of it for your phone hardware.
• Sound Driver
  Describes how to create a port of the sound driver for your phone hardware.
