The Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) provides a single standard across all

Cortex-Mx processor series vendors. It enables code re-use and code sharing across software projects

and reduces time-to-market for new embedded applications.

CMSIS is released under the terms of the end user license agreement ("CMSIS_END_USER_LICENCE_AGREEMENT.pdf").

Any user of the software package is bound to the terms and conditions of the end user license agreement.
