Product Description:
====================
LoadGen is an S60 UI application that provides an easy way to generate load
into a device. You can use LoadGen to simulate the behavior and possible
problems of a device when put under a heavy load in actual usage scenarios. 

Main Features:
==============
- Load types: 
  - CPU load (yielding or blocking)
  - Memory eat (RAM and disks)
  - Phone calls
  - Network connection
  - Key press
  - SMS and MMS sending
  - Launching applications
  - Photo captures
  - Bluetooth device discovery
  - Touch UI pointer events
- Each load type can be executed periodically (that is, idle time can be
  applied after each round)
- Each started load will be run in a separate thread
- Each load type can be paused/resumed and stopped

===============================================================================

- Bug fixes

Installation Notes:
===================
LoadGen is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
internal\sis directory.

When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
needed:
  NetworkServices
  SwEvent
  ReadUserData
  WriteUserData

When builing LoadGen against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK
environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the
instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.
