<div class="textblock"><p>The <b>Pack Description (*.PDSC) Format</b> uses standard XML annotations and is defined in the schema file <b>PACK.xsd</b>. Software components are distributed through <b>Software Packs</b>. A <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> is a zip file containing a single <b>Pack Description</b> file that describes dependencies to devices, processors, tool chains, or other software components.</p>
<p>A descriptive text of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>along the text information for devices, components, and examples is part of each a <b>Pack Description</b> (*.PDSC) file. In addition, information is provided which facilitates downloading, updating, and versioning of of a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>. The *.PDSC file contains also the complete version history of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> with a brief list of the most significant changes.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="Filenames"></a>
Filename Conventions</h1>
<p>A <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> must have a unique filename which uses the following format: <b>&lt;vendor&gt;.&lt;name&gt;.&lt;version&gt;.pack</b>.</p>
<p><b>Where:</b> </p>
<ul>
<li><b>&lt;vendor&gt;</b>: name of the supplier or vendor of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
<li><b>&lt;name&gt;</b>: 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>&lt;version&gt;</b>: version number of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
<li><b>.pack</b>: file extension identifying a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
