Understanding CMSIS
In this section, we will explore CMSIS, an important framework designed for Arm Cortex-M and some Cortex-A processors. CMSIS is a vendor-independent hardware abstraction layer that standardizes software interfaces across various Arm Cortex-based microcontroller platforms, promoting software portability and reusability. Let’s start by understanding CMSIS and its key benefits.
What is CMSIS?
CMSIS, pronounced See-M-Sys, is a standard developed by Arm to provide a consistent and efficient way to interface with Cortex-based microcontrollers. It includes a comprehensive set of APIs, software components, tools, and workflows designed to simplify and streamline the development process for embedded systems.
Its key benefits include the following:
- Standardization: CMSIS standardizes the interface for all Cortex-based microcontrollers, making it easier for you to switch between different microcontrollers and tools without having to relearn or reconfigure...
