Driver</title><shortdesc>A Keyboard Driver is a kernel extension that gets input
from keyboard hardware, and makes these events available to other
parts of the operating system and applications. This section describes
how to implement a driver for your phone hardware. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>A Keyboard Driver is platform-specific, and is implemented
by the base port. Symbian platform provides template code for a driver.
A base port must also implement a keyboard mapping library, which
is used by user-side components to translate the codes used for hardware
keys into logical key codes. </p>
