hi all,

I have developed a bluetooth keyboard kernel extension and want to install it on series 60 phone. I do not have tools to build the Rom image. Can anyone suggest me steps to be followed to install the driver on the phone.

Please reply soon.

Thanks,
Sahil

1) Contact Nokia
2) Persuade whomever is responsoible for S60 to include in S60, or
3) Do that by individual phone project by project

In essence, I think you might be out of luck for this one, if your implementation doesn't work as a user-level service or recognizer (S60 phones do not allow user-installable device drivers).

Can we not install the keyboard kernel extension by making a .sis file using the makesis tool and then try to install it.?

Is there any directory or registry entries in which we can place the driver and its entries respectively.

Is this possible in any other symbian os device? if yes then how is it done.

Please reply soon.
Thanks,
Sahil

If the device only loads/accepts device drivers from ROM (the Z-drive), there's nothing you can do to change that.

if the device accepts/loads the drivers from some other location for example a storage card, what are the steps one should follow to install that driver in that location.

Thanks,
