of the file. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-03BE3694-C78E-5A46-B4FF-FCAF55CED8D4"><p>Put this text file into

your variant source tree. The source tree is typically of the form <filepath>sf/os/boardsupport/.../&lt;your

                variant&gt;/estart/</filepath> . Depending on your port, you

might need more than one local drive mapping file. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-1850EBF2-71EB-53D6-A2AC-2FE33AEC8AE8"><p>In the <filepath>kernel.iby</filepath> file

for your variant, you need to add lines to make sure that your local drive

mapping files are copied into the ROM's <filepath>\sys\data\</filepath> directory

when the ROM is built. For example include a lines in the form </p> <codeblock id="GUID-B7C15498-DB7E-51CF-83D9-25013ABEC3B8" xml:space="preserve">data=\epoc32\rom\youvariant\ESTARTCOMP.TXT              \Sys\Data\ESTARTCOMP.TXT</codeblock> </li>

one mapping file, or your single mapping file has a name other than <filepath>ESTART.TXT</filepath>,

then you need to customise the function <xref href="GUID-9A65BCC6-FC1B-349E-BF8C-AEDE8F2549B7.dita#GUID-9A65BCC6-FC1B-349E-BF8C-AEDE8F2549B7/GUID-F46A932C-8CC0-3F39-8C68-38C2660F86E7"><apiname>TFSStartUp::LocalDriveMappingFileName()</apiname></xref> so

that you can return the appropriate file name at run time. </p> </li>

<section id="GUID-51FBCDD1-7DB4-556D-9599-5F8B54837852"><title>Making use

of auto detection</title> <p>To make use of auto-detection, you need to ensure

that your variant cannot find local drive mapping files in your ROM's <filepath>\sys\data\</filepath> directory.

If you are using the default version of <xref href="GUID-9A65BCC6-FC1B-349E-BF8C-AEDE8F2549B7.dita#GUID-9A65BCC6-FC1B-349E-BF8C-AEDE8F2549B7/GUID-F46A932C-8CC0-3F39-8C68-38C2660F86E7"><apiname>TFSStartUp::LocalDriveMappingFileName()</apiname></xref>,

then make sure that no file exists with the full path name <filepath>Z:\sys\data\estart.txt</filepath>. </p> </section>

<section id="GUID-AA916F3A-E8DF-522D-BDD6-18C2FD82AC16"><title>Customising

code</title> <p>The most common customisation is to provide your own implementation

of the <xref href="GUID-7A6C0343-7B98-3429-9162-4C0357594230.dita"><apiname>TFSStartup</apiname></xref> virtual functions. To do this: </p> <ol id="GUID-7C709736-88C7-5770-8799-44C5DE9B78A2">

<li id="GUID-A5CB09C7-C008-5ADA-BC1C-BFDC268570B9"><p>Take a copy of <filepath>ESTARTMAIN.CPP</filepath> from <filepath>sf/os/kernelhwsrv/userlibandfileserver/fileserver/estart/</filepath>, and insert your code into this copy. Typically this will include, but is

not limited to, your implementation of the <xref href="GUID-7A6C0343-7B98-3429-9162-4C0357594230.dita"><apiname>TFSStartup</apiname></xref> virtual

functions. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-A67D8EB7-A4A7-54DE-A46C-BF44FC6F173C"><p>Place the copy into

your variant's source tree. This is typically of the form <filepath>sf/os/boardsupport/.../&lt;your

variant&gt;/estart/</filepath>. This is the general pattern for the other ports

supplied with Symbian platform. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-24536FD8-EABF-5E4D-A691-F36FEEBB604C"><p>Create a <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file

to build your variant's version of the Base Starter. This is usually placed

in the <filepath>\&lt;youvariant&gt;\</filepath> directory. The general pattern

looks like this: <filepath>sf/os/boardsupport/.../&lt;your               

 variant&gt;/estart/estart.mmp</filepath>. Ports to other hardware variants and

the emulator (WINS) variant follow the same general pattern. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-41111731-D21E-53E8-9728-1F2E8B2977B9"><p>Your <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file

should pick up the Symbian platform generic code from <filepath>sf/os/kernelhwsrv/userlibandfileserver/fileserver/estart/estart.cpp</filepath>,

but should pick up your variant's customised source code from <filepath>sf/os/boardsupport/.../&lt;your

variant&gt;/estart/estartmain.cpp</filepath>. The general pattern is to give

the resulting executable the name <filepath>e32strt.exe</filepath>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-FBBE887B-69D6-5904-8BD6-7E67F1B049B7"><p>In the <filepath>kernel.iby</filepath> file

for your variant, you need to add a line that copies your executable into

the ROM's <filepath>\sys\bin\</filepath> directory when the ROM is built.

For example, include a line of the form: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-DF458ADA-69B8-5AC3-92D1-F57B9C14C326" xml:space="preserve">file=\Epoc32\Release\##MAIN##\##BUILD##\_##VARIANT##_e32strt.exe        sys\bin\estart.exe HEAPMAX(0x2000)</codeblock> </li>

<li id="GUID-3CD0D0C9-5CA5-5CCA-A918-5076DD38C576"><p>The location of all
