    13 into a device. You can use LoadGen to simulate the behavior and possible
       
    14 problems of a device when put under a heavy load in actual usage scenarios.

    44 Installation Notes:
       
    45 ===================
       
    46 LoadGen is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
       
    47 ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
       
    48 directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
       
    49 In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
       
    50 internal\sis directory.
       
    51 
       
    52 When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
       
    53 needed:
       
    54   NetworkServices
       
    55   SwEvent
       
    56   ReadUserData
       
    57   WriteUserData
       
    58 
       
    59 When builing LoadGen against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK
       
    60 environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the
       
    61 instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.
