+Driver Implementation Tutorial</title><shortdesc/><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>This topic describes how to implement an interrupt driven keyboard driver. </p>
+<p>The steps are: </p>
+<ul>
+<li id="GUID-BC3A7259-A750-5D5F-8363-6F8BBC03E8EB"><p>Implement the driver
+entry point function and initialisation code. This function is called when
+the extension is loaded. </p> <p>The initialisation code binds the hardware
+interrupt to the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) and enables the interrupt. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-3A050F21-FE10-5C0F-8BFE-C44692C0BDE2"><p>Implement an ISR to
+handle key events. The ISR queues a keyboard DFC. </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-6580FC61-3D9E-5370-88AD-50CC1FB28E5F"><p>Implement a keyboard
+DFC. This function interrogates the keyboard, converts the scancode to a keypress
+event, and places it onto the kernel's event queue. </p> </li>
+</ul>
+<section id="GUID-B4B6A6C6-39D0-49FC-A630-1979368056B0"><title>Set Up</title> <p>In the template reference board port, the <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file
+for the keyboard driver is <filepath>...\template_variant\exkey_inttemplate.mmp</filepath>.
+This is one of the PRJ_MMPFILES referenced in the template variant's <filepath>bld.inf</filepath> file
+in the <filepath>...\template_variant\...</filepath> directory, and means
+that the keyboard driver is built as part of the Variant. </p> <p>The source
+for the driver is contained entirely within <filepath>...\template_variant\specific\keyboard_interrupt.cpp</filepath>. </p> <p>The
+driver is defined as a kernel extension and is loaded early in the boot sequence. </p> </section>
+<section id="GUID-547A2791-82D8-4C86-86E6-B4B9CEF04E3B"><title>Entry point implementation</title> <p>The driver functionality
+is encapsulated by the <codeph>DKeyboardTemplate</codeph> class, and an instance
+of this is created when the extension is loaded. </p> <p>As the driver is
+a kernel extension, it must have a <codeph>DECLARE_STANDARD_EXTENSION()</codeph> statement.
+In the template port, this is implemented: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-69F707CF-642D-5D03-AC78-4914549C4413" xml:space="preserve">DECLARE_STANDARD_EXTENSION()
+    {
+    __KTRACE_OPT(KEXTENSION,Kern::Printf("Starting keyboard driver"));
+
+    // create keyboard driver
+    TInt r=KErrNoMemory;
+    DKeyboardTemplate* pK=new DKeyboardTemplate;
+    if (pK)
+        r=pK-&gt;Create();
+
+    __KTRACE_OPT(KEXTENSION,Kern::Printf("Returns %d",r));
+    return r;
+    }
+
+</codeblock> <p>It simply creates an instance of the <codeph>DKeyboardTemplate</codeph> class
+and then performs a second-phase initialisation, which is a common pattern
+in Symbian platform and third party applications. </p> <p><b>Initialisation
+on construction</b> </p> <p>The constructor of the <codeph>DKeyboardTemplate</codeph> class
+has the following signature: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-5D247843-FF8C-5157-8BE5-53B5883F00B2" xml:space="preserve">DKeyboardTemplate::DKeyboardTemplate()

+ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) just schedules the DFC that handles the keypress.
+On the template reference board, this is implemented as: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-866CEA65-78AC-5A2C-AF08-29DF8FE53DD5" xml:space="preserve">void DKeyboardTemplate::Isr(TAny* aPtr)
