Purpose

The serial port driver allows Symbian platform +to communicate with the outside world via a serial port.

Serial ports +are used for debugging by various tools: for example the EKA2 Run-Mode Debugger +as well as being used on actual phones in implementing the IR port.

+
Key concepts and terms
