<div class="textblock"><p><b>CMSIS-Pack</b> describes a delivery mechanism for software components, device parameters, and evaluation board support. The XML-based package description (PDSC) file describes the content of a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> (file collection) that includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Source code, header files, and software libraries</li>
<li>Documentation and source code templates</li>
<li>Device parameters along with startup code and programming algorithms</li>
<li>Example projects</li>
</ul>
<p>The complete file collection along with the PDSC file is shipped in ZIP-format as a Software Pack. The PDSC file is designed for software development environments and describes the user and device relevant context for the files supplied within such a Software Pack. A Software Pack can be used for multiple purposes (see below).</p>
<p>After installing a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>, all included software components are available to the development tools. <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html#cp_Components">Software components</a> are a collection of source modules, header and configuration files as well as libraries. Packs containing software components can also include <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html#cp_Examples">Example Projects</a> and <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html#cp_CodeTemplates">User Code Templates</a>.</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="pack_revisionHistory.html">Revision History of CMSIS-Pack</a> lists the main changes between versions.</p>

Software Pack Use Cases</h1>
<div class="image">

<div class="caption">
Software Pack Use Cases</div></div>
<p> The figure above shows the following use cases for Software Packs:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Device Family Pack (DFP):</b> contains CMSIS system/startup files, drivers, and flash algorithms for a microcontroller device family.</li>
<li><b>CMSIS Software Pack:</b> contains the generic CMSIS components (CORE, DSP Library, and RTOS implementation) supplied by ARM.</li>
<li><b>Middleware Pack:</b> contains software components belonging to a middleware (such as source code or libraries).</li>
<li><b>Board Support Pack (BSP):</b> contains documentation, schematics, and drivers for a certain development board.</li>
<li><b>In-house Software Packs:</b> usually contain software components that can be distributed within a company or engineering group.</li>
</ul>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>A Software Pack can address multiple use cases at the same time!</dd></dl>
<p>The following sections give you more details on the basics:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="el" href="cp_Packs.html">Software Packs Overview</a> explains the steps required for creating a Software Pack in general.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Pack with Software Components</a> gives detailed information on the contents of the PDSC file.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="createPack_DFP.html">Pack with Device Support</a> describes additional requirements of Device Family Packs (DFPs).</li>
<li><a class="el" href="createPackBoard.html">Pack with Board Support</a> covers the creation of Board Support Packs (BSPs).</li>
<li><a class="el" href="pack_Example.html">Pack Example</a> explains the Software Pack example that is part of the CMSIS Pack in more detail.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="createPackPublish.html">Publish a Pack</a> shows the options for publishing a Pack.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="createPackUtil.html">Utilities for Creating Packs</a> caters to programs that are useful during the creation of a Pack.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="packFormat.html">Pack Description (*.PDSC) Format</a> describes all XML elements that can be used in a PDSC file.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="configWizard.html">Configuration Wizard Annotations</a> can be used to create GUI-like elements in development tools for configuration files.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="flashAlgorithm.html">Flash Programming Algorithms</a> are used to erase or download applications to Flash devices.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="coresight_setup.html">Simplifying debug setup using debug descriptions</a> allow to create tool-agnostic debug and trace configurations</li>
<li><a class="el" href="cpdsc_pg.html">Project Description (*.CPDSC) Format</a> is a environment/tool independent definition of a software project. This helps to create only one set of example projects that can be used by many different tool vendors.</li>
