TECHNOLOGIES CMSIS Common Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) CMSIS enables consistent device support and simple software interfaces to the processor and its peripherals, simplifying software reuse, reducing the learning curve for microcontroller developers, and reducing the time to market for new devices. CMSIS is publicly developed on GitHub. Documentation Download Features and Benefits Standardized to reduce costs CMSIS has expanded into areas such as software component management and reference debugger interfaces. Standardizing software interfaces across all Cortex-M silicon vendor products means significant cost reductions. Common approach simplifies software reuse Defined in close cooperation with silicon and software vendors, CMSIS provides a common approach to interface to peripherals, real-time operating systems, and middleware components. Consistent system startup and peripheral access The standardized CMSIS-CORE is implemented for over 5000 different devices and makes it easy to get started with a new device or migrate software across microcontrollers. Talk with an Expert With any complex software system, it is critical to understand the interworking of different modules and the capabilities of the underlying hardware. If you have any questions about software on Arm-based processors, talk to an Arm expert. Learn More CMSIS Resources Everything you need to know to make the right decision for your project.
