Introduction -to Symbian^3

Introduction -to Symbian^3The Symbian platform, is a comprehensive open-source software platform -for Symbian-based devices. The platform is used by device manufactures to -build devices, and by third-party developers to create after-market applications -for installation onto devices. -

Overview

The -Symbian platform includes a customizable user interface, a rich set of applications, -common user interface components (AVKON, UIKON) and development tools for -implementing new applications. It also includes tools and documentation that -enables device creators and application developers to create feature-rich -devices and applications.

The Symbian platform architecture is divided -into different layers:

The Applications Layer consists of application specific UI and -engine components. It uses the services provided by Middleware and OS layers.
The Middleware Layer consists of domains which provide services -to the application layer; for example, Multimedia, Networking and Location -services.
The Operating System (OS) Layer provides all higher-level -OS services across a full range of technology domains such as communications, -networking, graphics, multimedia and so on. It also includes low-level OS -services such as frameworks, libraries and utilities, which turn the abstracted -hardware and OS mechanisms into a programmable interface.
The Adaptation layer integrates the generic platform software -with the phone’s cellular platform. It is implemented by the device creators -though reference implementations are provided with the platform.
Give link to the adaptation documentation.
The Cellular Platform is the device-specific hardware and cellular -software that performs the services required by the Symbian platform.

For more information about layers of the Symbian platform and the -packages contained within it, see the Package view of the current Symbian Foundation platform.

-Architecture of the Symbian platform - -

A layer can have packages from any technology -domain. Technology domains are a group of packages, each of which is -a collection of components. To understand more about the architecture, what -the platform offers, see Introduction -to Symbian Developer Community.

Platform UID

The -platform UID for Symbian^3 is 0x20022E6D.
