About the Book

Take a look inside Symbian OS with an under-the-hood view of Symbian's revolutionary new real-time smart phone kernel. This book describes the functioning of the new real-time kernel, which will become ubiquitous on Symbian OS phones in the next 5-10 years. It will benefit the base-porting engineer by providing a more solid understanding of the OS being ported. It contains an in-depth explanation of how Symbian OS drivers work. Device drivers have changed considerably with the introduction of a single code - this book helps those converting them to the new kernel. The book has broad appeal and is relevant to all who work with Symbian OS at a low level, whatever Symbian OS they are targeting. This book is written by the engineers who actually designed and built the real-time kernel.
