baseport/
	The baseport (BSP) needed to run Symbian OS in QEMU

docs/
	Various documentation about the baseport, peripherals and how to use QEMU.
	The wiki folders contains a dump from Wiki documentation, this the unfortunate .doc format.

symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/
	A version of QEMU with some extra features not yet available in the QEMU mainline.

Some notes;

* The baseport source layout (in the current initial contribution) follows the old Symbian (v9.5) structure. This needs to be changed to work in a Symbian foundation structure. What this space for updates.

* Even though a version of QEMU is supplied, the TOT version of QEMU should be usable. The QEMU version is supplied here to share some the extra features not yet available in mainline QEMU. Most noticeable the support for Python peripherals (and binary separation of QEMU and its peripheral) and the skinning support to supply a landing zone for phone specific buttons etc.

* Throughout the documentation the SVP is referenced. SVP stands for the "Symbian Virtual Platform" and this was the proposed product name of the QEMU based simulator. For the purpose of this document treat the SVP as QEMU with the syborg board models.
