Question: I want to develop a device driver for Symbian OS. Can I install it on the phone? Is there a device driver development kit
?
Answer: To develop a device driver you need to have a license for the DevKit, thus be a Platinum Partner. Furthermore some manufacturers do not allow device driver deployment on their devices. For example no Nokia Series 60 devices
allow a device driver to be loaded if they are not present in the ROM, while for Series 80 devices such as the Nokia 9500/9300
and UIQ devices such as the P900/910 this is possible.
