+source code</title>       <p>To help enable a base port be produced quickly,
+Symbian platform provides template source code for drivers for most peripherals.
+The template implements a framework and protocols for the type of peripheral;
+the base port implementer then supplies additional implementation for the
+particular hardware device. For example, for the UART driver, the PDD template
+implements the standard hardware abstraction interfaces for serial communication,
+such as the <codeph>DComm</codeph> class. It leaves some sections marked as
+"TBD", which are specific to the device. Driver developers can start with
+these templates and fill in the "TBD" functions to create a basic driver.
+If required, additional functionality can then be added to this. </p> <p>The
+template drivers are located in the <filepath>sf\os\kernelhwsrv\bsptemplate\asspandvariant\template_variant</filepath> source
+directory. The <filepath>template</filepath> directory provides a variant
+base port that includes all the drivers required to do the minimal base port
+for any variant. </p> <p>Details of the templates for particular drivers are
+discussed in the relevant sections of the <i>Base Porting Guide</i>. This
+tutorial presents an additional example device driver. </p>     </section>
