STAT Lite

STAT lite is a reduced version of STAT. It has fewer features than normal STAT and can run in a base ROM environment which has fewer OS components. When STAT Lite starts up, it displays information that it is a reduced version of STAT.

TestDriver uses STAT lite to communicate with the Symbian device, copy files, create directories, and execute arbitrary commands. These activities are remotely controlled on the device by a PC through the serial cable. STAT lite does not support connecting to the PC through USB, TCP, Bluetooth, or Infrared. It displays an error message and fails to start up if the initialization file specifies anyone of the above non-unsupported connection methods.

STAT lite does not support the following script commands. If any are used, it returns KErrNotSupported (-5):

  • Installation and un-installation of SIS package

  • Screen capture

  • Touch screen

  • Sending key strokes to the device

  • Start and close application

  • Start and stop eshell

Configuring STAT lite

The way to build STAT lite into a Techview ROM is similar to normal STAT; the only difference is to add the command-line option -DSTAT_LITE to buildrom.

When using rom.bat to build STAT lite into a base ROM, you must include base_statlite.iby into the corresponding .oby files. For example, adding #include <rom\include\base_statlite.iby> line into tshell.oby.
