Description

This section specifies the SVD file format Version 1.0. Each subsection defines one level of hierarchy and lists all mandatory and optional language elements as well as their type. A brief example description snippet demonstrates the usage of the elements.

Note
  • The sequence of elements in CMSIS-SVD is mandatory.
  • Optional elements are highlighted in green.
  • Mandatory elements are highlighted in blue. Optional sections can contain mandatory elements, which must be specified when the optional section is used. In this case the mandatory elements are also highlighted in blue.

Names

All name tags must comply with the ANSI C identifier naming restrictions (identifierType). In particular they must not contain any spaces or special characters. This is necessary to support the generation of device header files thus providing consistency between the names being shown by the debugger and the symbols being used in the CMSIS compliant target software.

Constants

Number constants shall be entered in hexadecimal, decimal, or binary format.

Comments

Comments have the standard XML format.

Empty Tags
