<h2><a name="1"></a>About</h2>
<p>
The <strong>Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS)</strong> answers the challenges
that are faced when software components are deployed to physical microcontroller devices based on a
Cortex-M0 or Cortex-M3 processor. The CMSIS will be also expanded to future Cortex-M
processor cores (the term Cortex-M is used to indicate that). The CMSIS is defined in close co-operation
with various silicon and software vendors and provides a common approach to interface to peripherals,
real-time operating systems, and middleware components.
</p>
<p>ARM provides as part of the CMSIS the following software layers that are
available for various compiler implementations:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Core Peripheral Access Layer</strong>: contains name definitions,
address definitions and helper functions to
access core registers and peripherals. It defines also a device
independent interface for RTOS Kernels that includes debug channel
definitions.</li>
</ul>
<p>These software layers are expanded by Silicon partners with:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Device Peripheral Access Layer</strong>: provides definitions
for all device peripherals</li>
<li><strong>Access Functions for Peripherals (optional)</strong>: provides
additional helper functions for peripherals</li>
</ul>
<p>CMSIS defines for a Cortex-M Microcontroller System:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">A common way to access peripheral registers
and a common way to define exception vectors.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The register names of the <strong>Core
Peripherals</strong> and<strong> </strong>the names of the <strong>Core
Exception Vectors</strong>.</li>
<li>An device independent interface for RTOS Kernels including a debug
channel.</li>
</ul>
<p>
By using CMSIS compliant software components, the user can easier re-use template code.
CMSIS is intended to enable the combination of software components from multiple middleware vendors.
</p>
<h2><a name="2"></a>Coding Rules and Conventions</h2>
<p>
The following section describes the coding rules and conventions used in the CMSIS
implementation. It contains also information about data types and version number information.
</p>
<h3>Essentials</h3>
<ul>
<li>The CMSIS C code conforms to MISRA 2004 rules. In case of MISRA violations,
there are disable and enable sequences for PC-LINT inserted.</li>
<li>ANSI standard data types defined in the ANSI C header file
<strong>&lt;stdint.h&gt;</strong> are used.</li>
<li>#define constants that include expressions must be enclosed by
parenthesis.</li>
<li>Variables and parameters have a complete data type.</li>
<li>All functions in the <strong>Core Peripheral Access Layer</strong> are
re-entrant.</li>
<li>The <strong>Core Peripheral Access Layer</strong> has no blocking code
(which means that wait/query loops are done at other software layers).</li>
<li>For each exception/interrupt there is definition for:
<ul>
<li>an exception/interrupt handler with the postfix <strong>_Handler </strong>
(for exceptions) or <strong>_IRQHandler</strong> (for interrupts).</li>
<li>a default exception/interrupt handler (weak definition) that contains an endless loop.</li>
<li>a #define of the interrupt number with the postfix <strong>_IRQn</strong>.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<h3>Recommendations</h3>
<p>The CMSIS recommends the following conventions for identifiers.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>CAPITAL</strong> names to identify Core Registers, Peripheral Registers, and CPU Instructions.</li>
<li><strong>CamelCase</strong> names to identify peripherals access functions and interrupts.</li>
<li><strong>PERIPHERAL_</strong> prefix to identify functions that belong to specify peripherals.</li>
<li><strong>Doxygen</strong> comments for all functions are included as described under <strong>Function Comments</strong> below.</li>
</ul>
<b>Comments</b>
<ul>
<li>Comments use the ANSI C90 style (<em>/* comment */</em>) or C++ style
(<em>// comment</em>). It is assumed that the programming tools support today
consistently the C++ comment style.</li>
<li><strong>Function Comments</strong> provide for each function the following information:
<ul>
<li>one-line brief function overview.</li>
<li>detailed parameter explanation.</li>
<li>detailed information about return values.</li>
<li>detailed description of the actual function.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Doxygen Example:</b></p>
<pre>
/**
* @brief Enable Interrupt in NVIC Interrupt Controller
* @param IRQn interrupt number that specifies the interrupt
* @return none.
* Enable the specified interrupt in the NVIC Interrupt Controller.
* Other settings of the interrupt such as priority are not affected.
*/</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Data Types and IO Type Qualifiers</h3>
<p>
The <strong>Cortex-M HAL</strong> uses the standard types from the standard ANSI C header file
<strong>&lt;stdint.h&gt;</strong>. <strong>IO Type Qualifiers</strong> are used to specify the access
to peripheral variables. IO Type Qualifiers are indented to be used for automatic generation of
debug information of peripheral registers.

<h3><em>device.h</em></h3>
<p>
The file <em><strong>device.h</strong></em> is provided by the silicon vendor and is the
<u><strong>central include file</strong></u> that the application programmer is using in
the C source code. This file contains:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Interrupt Number Definition</strong>: provides interrupt numbers
(IRQn) for all core and device specific exceptions and interrupts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Configuration for core_cm0.h / core_cm3.h</strong>: reflects the
actual configuration of the Cortex-M processor that is part of the actual
device. As such the file <strong>core_cm0.h / core_cm3.h</strong> is included that
implements access to processor registers and core peripherals. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Device Peripheral Access Layer</strong>: provides definitions
for all device peripherals. It contains all data structures and the address
mapping for the device specific peripherals. </p>
</li>
<li><strong>Access Functions for Peripherals (optional)</strong>: provides
additional helper functions for peripherals that are useful for programming
of these peripherals. Access Functions may be provided as inline functions
or can be extern references to a device specific library provided by the
silicon vendor.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Interrupt Number Definition</strong></h4>
<p>To access the device specific interrupts the device.h file defines IRQn
numbers for the complete device using a enum typedef as shown below:</p>
<pre>
typedef enum IRQn
{

<h4>Configuration for core_cm0.h / core_cm3.h</h4>
<p>
The Cortex-M core configuration options which are defined for each device implementation. Some
configuration options are reflected in the CMSIS layer using the #define settings described below.
</p>
<p>
To access core peripherals file <em><strong>device.h</strong></em> includes file <b>core_cm0.h / core_cm3.h</b>.
Several features in <strong>core_cm0.h / core_cm3.h</strong> are configured by the following defines that must be
defined before <strong>#include &lt;core_cm0.h&gt;</strong> / <strong>#include &lt;core_cm3.h&gt;</strong>
preprocessor command.

<h4>Device Peripheral Access Layer</h4>
<p>
Each peripheral uses a prefix which consists of <strong>&lt;device abbreviation&gt;_</strong>
and <strong>&lt;peripheral name&gt;_</strong> to identify peripheral registers that access this
specific peripheral. The intention of this is to avoid name collisions caused
due to short names. If more than one peripheral of the same type exists,
identifiers have a postfix (digit or letter). For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li>&lt;device abbreviation&gt;_UART_Type: defines the generic register layout for all UART channels in a device.
<pre>
typedef struct
{
union {
__I uint8_t RBR; /*!< Offset: 0x000 Receiver Buffer Register */
__O uint8_t THR; /*!< Offset: 0x000 Transmit Holding Register */
__IO uint8_t DLL; /*!< Offset: 0x000 Divisor Latch LSB */
uint32_t RESERVED0;
};
union {
__IO uint8_t DLM; /*!< Offset: 0x004 Divisor Latch MSB */
__IO uint32_t IER; /*!< Offset: 0x004 Interrupt Enable Register */
};
union {
__I uint32_t IIR; /*!< Offset: 0x008 Interrupt ID Register */
__O uint8_t FCR; /*!< Offset: 0x008 FIFO Control Register */
};
__IO uint8_t LCR; /*!< Offset: 0x00C Line Control Register */
uint8_t RESERVED1[7];
__I uint8_t LSR; /*!< Offset: 0x014 Line Status Register */
uint8_t RESERVED2[7];
__IO uint8_t SCR; /*!< Offset: 0x01C Scratch Pad Register */
uint8_t RESERVED3[3];
__IO uint32_t ACR; /*!< Offset: 0x020 Autobaud Control Register */
__IO uint8_t ICR; /*!< Offset: 0x024 IrDA Control Register */
uint8_t RESERVED4[3];
__IO uint8_t FDR; /*!< Offset: 0x028 Fractional Divider Register */
uint8_t RESERVED5[7];
__IO uint8_t TER; /*!< Offset: 0x030 Transmit Enable Register */
uint8_t RESERVED6[39];
__I uint8_t FIFOLVL; /*!< Offset: 0x058 FIFO Level Register */
} LPC_UART_TypeDef;</pre>
</li>
<li>&lt;device abbreviation&gt;_UART1: is a pointer to a register structure that refers to a specific UART.
For example UART1-&gt;DR is the data register of UART1.
<pre>
#define LPC_UART2 ((LPC_UART_TypeDef *) LPC_UART2_BASE )
#define LPC_UART3 ((LPC_UART_TypeDef *) LPC_UART3_BASE )</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<h5>Minimal Requiements</h5>
<p>
To access the peripheral registers and related function in a device the files <strong><em>device.h</em></strong>
and <strong>core_cm0.h</strong> / <strong>core_cm3.h</strong> defines as a minimum:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The <strong>Register Layout Typedef</strong> for each peripheral that defines all register names.
Names that start with RESERVE are used to introduce space into the structure to adjust the addresses of
the peripheral registers. For example:
<pre>
typedef struct {
__IO uint32_t CTRL; /* SysTick Control and Status Register */
__IO uint32_t LOAD; /* SysTick Reload Value Register */
__IO uint32_t VAL; /* SysTick Current Value Register */
__I uint32_t CALIB; /* SysTick Calibration Register */
} SysTick_Type;</pre>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Base Address</strong> for each peripheral (in case of multiple peripherals
that use the same <strong>register layout typedef</strong> multiple base addresses are defined). For example:
<pre>
#define SysTick_BASE (SCS_BASE + 0x0010) /* SysTick Base Address */</pre>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Access Definition</strong> for each peripheral (in case of multiple peripherals that use
the same <strong>register layout typedef</strong> multiple access definitions exist, i.e. LPC_UART0,
LPC_UART2). For Example:
<pre>
#define SysTick ((SysTick_Type *) SysTick_BASE) /* SysTick access definition */</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
These definitions allow to access the peripheral registers from user code with simple assignments like:
</p>
<pre>SysTick-&gt;CTRL = 0;</pre>
<h5>Optional Features</h5>
<p>In addition the <em> <strong>device.h </strong></em>file may define:</p>
<ul>
<li>
#define constants that simplify access to the peripheral registers.
These constant define bit-positions or other specific patterns are that required for the
programming of the peripheral registers. The identifiers used start with
<strong>&lt;device abbreviation&gt;_</strong> and <strong>&lt;peripheral name&gt;_</strong>.
It is recommended to use CAPITAL letters for such #define constants.
</li>
<li>
Functions that perform more complex functions with the peripheral (i.e. status query before
a sending register is accessed). Again these function start with
<strong>&lt;device abbreviation&gt;_</strong> and <strong>&lt;peripheral name&gt;_</strong>.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>core_cm0.h and core_cm0.c</h3>
<p>
File <b>core_cm0.h</b> describes the data structures for the Cortex-M0 core peripherals and does
the address mapping of this structures. It also provides basic access to the Cortex-M0 core registers
and core peripherals with efficient functions (defined as <strong>static inline</strong>).
</p>
<p>
File <b>core_cm0.c</b> defines several helper functions that access processor registers.
</p>
<p>Together these files implement the <a href="#4">Core Peripheral Access Layer</a> for a Cortex-M0.</p>
<h3>core_cm3.h and core_cm3.c</h3>
<p>
File <b>core_cm3.h</b> describes the data structures for the Cortex-M3 core peripherals and does
the address mapping of this structures. It also provides basic access to the Cortex-M3 core registers
and core peripherals with efficient functions (defined as <strong>static inline</strong>).
</p>
<p>
File <b>core_cm3.c</b> defines several helper functions that access processor registers.
</p>
<p>Together these files implement the <a href="#4">Core Peripheral Access Layer</a> for a Cortex-M3.</p>
<h3>startup_<em>device</em></h3>
<p>
A template file for <strong>startup_<em>device</em></strong> is provided by ARM for each supported
compiler. It is adapted by the silicon vendor to include interrupt vectors for all device specific
interrupt handlers. Each interrupt handler is defined as <strong><em>weak</em></strong> function
to an dummy handler. Therefore the interrupt handler can be directly used in application software
without any requirements to adapt the <strong>startup_<em>device</em></strong> file.
</p>
<p>
The following exception names are fixed and define the start of the vector table for a Cortex-M0:
</p>
<pre>
__Vectors DCD __initial_sp ; Top of Stack
DCD Reset_Handler ; Reset Handler
DCD NMI_Handler ; NMI Handler
DCD HardFault_Handler ; Hard Fault Handler
DCD 0 ; Reserved

<p>
The following exception names are fixed and define the start of the vector table for a Cortex-M3:
</p>
<pre>
__Vectors DCD __initial_sp ; Top of Stack
DCD Reset_Handler ; Reset Handler
DCD NMI_Handler ; NMI Handler
DCD HardFault_Handler ; Hard Fault Handler
DCD MemManage_Handler ; MPU Fault Handler

DCD SVC_Handler ; SVCall Handler
DCD DebugMon_Handler ; Debug Monitor Handler
DCD 0 ; Reserved
DCD PendSV_Handler ; PendSV Handler
DCD SysTick_Handler ; SysTick Handler</pre>
<p>
In the following examples for device specific interrupts are shown:
</p>
<pre>
; External Interrupts
DCD WWDG_IRQHandler ; Window Watchdog
DCD PVD_IRQHandler ; PVD through EXTI Line detect
DCD TAMPER_IRQHandler ; Tamper</pre>
<p>
Device specific interrupts must have a dummy function that can be overwritten in user code.
Below is an example for this dummy function.
</p>
<pre>
Default_Handler PROC
EXPORT WWDG_IRQHandler [WEAK]
EXPORT PVD_IRQHandler [WEAK]
EXPORT TAMPER_IRQHandler [WEAK]
:
:
WWDG_IRQHandler
PVD_IRQHandler
TAMPER_IRQHandler
:
:
B .
ENDP</pre>
<p>
The user application may simply define an interrupt handler function by using the handler name
as shown below.

<h3>NVIC Access Functions</h3>
<p>
The CMSIS provides access to the NVIC via the register interface structure and several helper
functions that simplify the setup of the NVIC. The CMSIS HAL uses IRQ numbers (IRQn) to
identify the interrupts. The first device interrupt has the IRQn value 0. Therefore negative
IRQn values are used for processor core exceptions.
</p>
<p>
For the IRQn values of core exceptions the file <strong><em>device.h</em></strong> provides
the following enum names.

<h3>Cortex-M3 ITM Debug Access</h3>
<p>The Cortex-M3 incorporates the Instrumented Trace Macrocell (ITM) that
provides together with the Serial Viewer Output trace capabilities for the
microcontroller system. The ITM has 32 communication channels; two ITM
communication channels are used by CMSIS to output the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li>ITM Channel 0: implements the <strong>ITM_SendChar</strong> function
which can be used for printf-style output via the debug interface.</li>
<li>ITM Channel 31: is reserved for the RTOS kernel and can be used for
kernel awareness debugging.</li>
</ul>
<p class="Note">Note</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The ITM channel 31 is selected for the RTOS kernel since some kernels
may use the Privileged level for program execution. ITM
channels have 4 groups with 8 channels each, whereby each group can be
configured for access rights in the Unprivileged level. The ITM channel 0
may be therefore enabled for the user task whereas ITM channel 31 may be
accessible only in Privileged level from the RTOS kernel itself.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The prototype of the <strong>ITM_SendChar</strong> routine is shown in the
