Pack Conventions</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>All files that belong to a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> are compressed into a *.PACK file using a standard <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_%28file_format%29" target="_blank">ZIP file format</a>. The content of each <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> is described in the Pack Description (*.PDSC) file that is part of each <b>Pack</b>. Refer to <a class="el" href="packFormat.html">Pack Description (*.PDSC) Format</a> for more information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="pack_filename"></a>
|
||
|
|
Pack File Name</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>A <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> must have a unique filename following this naming convention: <b><vendor>.<name>.<version>.pack</b>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Where:</b> </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><b><vendor></b> is name of the supplier or vendor of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b><name></b> is name of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>. It is the vendor's responsibility to ensure unique package names.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b><version></b>specifies the version number of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>.pack</b> is the file extension identifying a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The XML elements <b><vendor></b>, <b><name></b>, and <b><version></b> are declared in the <a class="el" href="packFormat.html#Filenames">PDSC</a> file.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b><vendor></b> and <b><name></b> <em>must</em> <em>not</em> contain spaces.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
||
|
|
<p>The PDSC file needs to reside at the top-level of the Pack file, using it as the root directory for all file references.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="pack_Cclass"></a>
|
||
|
|
Software Component Cclasses</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you add a software component in the PDSC file, you have to specify a component class (CClass), component group (Cgroup), and the component's version number (Cversion). For more information refer to <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html#cp_Components">Software Components</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If applicable, try to map the <b>Cclass</b> of your software component to one of the following predefined or already well established classes:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Board Support: Generic interfaces for evaluation and development boards</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CMSIS: <em>Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard</em> components</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CMSIS Driver: Unified device drivers compliant to the CMSIS-Driver specification</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Compiler: ARM Compiler software extensions</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Data Exchange: Software components for data exchange</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Device: Startup and system setup components</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>File System*: File drive support and file system</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Graphics*: Graphical libraries for user interfaces</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Network*: Network stack using Internet protocols</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>RTOS*: Real-time operating systems</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Safety: Components for testing application software against safety standards</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Security*: Encryption for secure communication or storage</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>USB*: Universal Serial Bus stack</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Wireless*: Communication stacks such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and ZigBee</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Classes with a * should always be used together with a <a class="el" href="pdsc_components_pg.html#Component_Bundle">bundle</a> to avoid conflicts with other software components.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you wish to standardize a new Cclass, please send an inquiry to <a href="#" onclick="location.href='mai'+'lto:'+'cms'+'is'+'@ar'+'m.'+'com'; return false;">cmsis<span style="display: none;">.nosp@m.</span>@arm<span style="display: none;">.nosp@m.</span>.com</a> or raise an issue on the public <a href="https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/issues">CMSIS GitHub development repository</a>.</p>

Steps to Create a Pack</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following image shows the basic steps that are required to create a Software Pack:</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="image">
|
||
|
|
<img src="PackCreateSteps.png" alt="PackCreateSteps.png"/>
|
||
|

</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Produce input:</b> Create the files that will be delivered with the Pack.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Organize files:</b> Use directories to separate the content of the Pack.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Create PDSC file:</b> The XML based PDSC file can be created using any text editor. Editors that can validate XML code against a schema file help to find bugs early in the Pack development stage.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Generate PACK:</b> Any compression tool supporting the ZIP format can be used to create a PACK file. <a class="el" href="packChk.html">packChk.exe</a> is helpful for the validation of the contents of a Pack.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following pages will show how to create a Software Pack from scratch. The page <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Pack with Software Components</a> will start with a simple Pack containing only the PDSC file and a single software component and will then explain further elements of a Pack in more detail. The page <a class="el" href="createPack_DFP.html">Pack with Device Support</a> adds information on the additional requirements that a DFP has, while <a class="el" href="createPackBoard.html">Pack with Board Support</a> will elaborate on the content specific to a BSP.</p>
