    13 Driver</title><shortdesc>A Keyboard Driver is a kernel extension that gets input

    14 from keyboard hardware, and makes these events available to other

    15 parts of the operating system and applications. This section describes

    16 how to implement a driver for your phone hardware. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    17 <p>A Keyboard Driver is platform-specific, and is implemented

    18 by the base port. Symbian platform provides template code for a driver.

    19 A base port must also implement a keyboard mapping library, which

    20 is used by user-side components to translate the codes used for hardware

    21 keys into logical key codes. </p>
