CMSIS Version 5

The branch master of this GitHub repository contains . The documentation is available under http://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/General/html/index.html

Use Issues to provide feedback and report problems for CMSIS Version 5.

Note: The branch develop of this GitHub repository reflects our current state of development and is constantly updated. It gives our users and partners contiguous access to the CMSIS development. It allows you to review the work and provide feedback or create pull requests for contributions.

A pre-built documentation is updated from time to time, but may be also generated using the instructions under Generate CMSIS Pack for Release.

Overview of CMSIS Components

The following is an list of all CMSIS components that are available.

CMSIS-...	Target Processors	Description
Core(M)	All Cortex-M, SecurCore	Standardized API for the Cortex-M processor core and peripherals. Includes intrinsic functions for Cortex-M4/M7/M33/M35P SIMD instructions.
Core(A)	Cortex-A5/A7/A9	API and basic run-time system for the Cortex-A5/A7/A9 processor core and peripherals.
Driver	All Cortex-M, SecurCore	Generic peripheral driver interfaces for middleware. Connects microcontroller peripherals with middleware that implements for example communication stacks, file systems, or graphic user interfaces.
NN	All Cortex-M	Collection of efficient neural network kernels developed to maximize the performance and minimize the memory footprint on Cortex-M processor cores.
RTOS v1	Cortex-M0/M0+/M3/M4/M7	Common API for real-time operating systems along with a reference implementation based on RTX. It enables software components that can work across multiple RTOS systems.
RTOS v2	All Cortex-M, Cortex-A5/A7/A9	Extends CMSIS-RTOS v1 with Armv8-M support, dynamic object creation, provisions for multi-core systems, binary compatible interface.
Pack	All Cortex-M, SecurCore, Cortex-A5/A7/A9	Describes a delivery mechanism for software components, device parameters, and evaluation board support. It simplifies software re-use and product life-cycle management (PLM). Is part of the Open CMSIS Pack project.
Build	All Cortex-M, SecurCore, Cortex-A5/A7/A9	A set of tools, software frameworks, and work flows that improve productivity, for example with Continuous Integration (CI) support. Is replaced with the CMSIS-Toolbox.
SVD	All Cortex-M, SecurCore	Peripheral description of a device that can be used to create peripheral awareness in debuggers or CMSIS-Core header files.
DAP	All Cortex	Firmware for a debug unit that interfaces to the CoreSight Debug Access Port.
Zone	All Cortex-M	Defines methods to describe system resources and to partition these resources into multiple projects and execution areas.

Note: CMSIS-DSP moved off into its own repository, see below.

Generate CMSIS Pack for Release

This GitHub development repository lacks pre-built libraries of various software components (RTOS, RTOS2). In order to generate a full pack one needs to have the build environment available to build these libraries. This causes some sort of inconvenience. Hence the pre-built libraries may be moved out into separate pack(s) in the future.

To build a complete CMSIS pack for installation the following additional tools are required:

• doxygen.exe Version: 1.8.6 (Documentation Generator)
• mscgen.exe Version: 0.20 (Message Sequence Chart Converter)
• 7z.exe (7-Zip) Version: 16.02 (File Archiver)

Using these tools, you can generate on a Windows PC:

• CMSIS Documentation using the batch file gen_doc.sh (located in ./CMSIS/Doxygen).
• CMSIS Software Pack using the batch file gen_pack.sh (located in ./CMSIS/Utilities). The bash script does not generate the documentation. The pre-built libraries for RTX4 and RTX5 are not included within this repository.

The file ./CMSIS/DoxyGen/How2Doc.txt describes the rules for creating API documentation.

Issues and Labels

Please feel free to raise an issue on GitHub to report misbehavior (i.e. bugs) or start discussions about enhancements. This is your best way to interact directly with the maintenance team and the community. We encourage you to append implementation suggestions as this helps to decrease the workload of the very limited maintenance team.

We will be monitoring and responding to issues as best we can. Please attempt to avoid filing duplicates of open or closed items when possible. In the spirit of openness we will be tagging issues with the following:

• bug – We consider this issue to be a bug that will be investigated.

• wontfix - We appreciate this issue but decided not to change the current behavior.

• enhancement – Denotes something that will be implemented soon.

• future - Denotes something not yet schedule for implementation.

• out-of-scope - We consider this issue loosely related to CMSIS. It might by implemented outside of CMSIS. Let us know about your work.

• question – We have further questions to this issue. Please review and provide feedback.

• documentation - This issue is a documentation flaw that will be improved in future.

• review - This issue is under review. Please be patient.

• DONE - We consider this issue as resolved - please review and close it. In case of no further activity this issues will be closed after a week.

• duplicate - This issue is already addressed elsewhere, see comment with provided references.

• Important Information - We provide essential information regarding planned or resolved major enhancements.
