<h1>Changes to CMSIS version V1.20</h1>
<hr>
<h2>1. Removed CMSIS Middelware packages</h2>
<p>
CMSIS Middleware is on hold from ARM side until a agreement between all CMSIS partners is found.
</p>
<h2>2. SystemFrequency renamed to SystemCoreClock</h2>
<p>
The variable name <strong>SystemCoreClock</strong> is more precise than <strong>SystemFrequency</strong>
because the variable holds the clock value at which the core is running.
</p>
<h2>3. Changed startup concept</h2>
<p>
The old startup concept (calling SystemInit_ExtMemCtl from startup file and calling SystemInit
from main) has the weakness that it does not work for controllers which need a already
configuerd clock system to configure the external memory controller.
</p>
<h3>Changed startup concept</h3>
<ul>
<li>
SystemInit() is called from startup file before <strong>premain</strong>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>SystemInit()</strong> configures the clock system and also configures
an existing external memory controller.
</li>
<li>
<strong>SystemInit()</strong> must not use global variables.
</li>
<li>
<strong>SystemCoreClock</strong> is initialized with a correct predefined value.
</li>
<li>
Additional function <strong>void SystemCoreClockUpdate (void)</strong> is provided.<br>
<strong>SystemCoreClockUpdate()</strong> updates the variable <strong>SystemCoreClock</strong>
and must be called whenever the core clock is changed.<br>
<strong>SystemCoreClockUpdate()</strong> evaluates the clock register settings and calculates
the current core clock.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. Advanced Debug Functions</h2>
<p>
ITM communication channel is only capable for OUT direction. To allow also communication for
IN direction a simple concept is provided.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Global variable <strong>volatile int ITM_RxBuffer</strong> used for IN data.
</li>
<li>
Function <strong>int ITM_CheckChar (void)</strong> checks if a new character is available.
</li>
<li>
Function <strong>int ITM_ReceiveChar (void)</strong> retrieves the new character.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
For detailed explanation see file <strong>CMSIS debug support.htm</strong>.
</p>
<h2>5. Core Register Bit Definitions</h2>
<p>
Files core_cm3.h and core_cm0.h contain now bit definitions for Core Registers. The name for the
defines correspond with the Cortex-M Technical Reference Manual.
</p>
<p>
e.g. SysTick structure with bit definitions
</p>
<pre>
/** @addtogroup CMSIS_CM3_SysTick CMSIS CM3 SysTick
memory mapped structure for SysTick
@{
*/
typedef struct
{
__IO uint32_t CTRL; /*!< Offset: 0x00 SysTick Control and Status Register */

} SysTick_Type;

#define SysTick_CALIB_TENMS_Msk (0xFFFFFFul << SysTick_VAL_CURRENT_Pos) /*!< SysTick CALIB: TENMS Mask */
/*@}*/ /* end of group CMSIS_CM3_SysTick */</pre>
<h2>7. DoxyGen Tags</h2>
<p>
DoxyGen tags in files core_cm3.[c,h] and core_cm0.[c,h] are reworked to create proper documentation
using DoxyGen.
</p>
<h2>8. Folder Structure</h2>
<p>
The folder structure is changed to differentiate the single support packages.
</p>
<ul>
<li>CM0</li>
<li>CM3

<li>CoreSupport</li>

</ul>
<h2>9. Open Points</h2>
<p>
Following points need to be clarified and solved:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Equivalent C and Assembler startup files.
</p>
<p>
Is there a need for having C startup files although assembler startup files are
very efficient and do not need to be changed?
<p/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Placing of HEAP in external RAM.
</p>
<p>
It must be possible to place HEAP in external RAM if the device supports an
external memory controller.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Placing of STACK /HEAP.
</p>
<p>
STACK should always be placed at the end of internal RAM.
</p>
<p>
If HEAP is placed in internal RAM than it should be placed after RW ZI section.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Removing core_cm3.c and core_cm0.c.
</p>
<p>
On a long term the functions in core_cm3.c and core_cm0.c must be replaced with
appropriate compiler intrinsics.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>10. Limitations</h2>
<p>
The following limitations are not covered with the current CMSIS version:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
No <strong>C startup files</strong> for ARM toolchain are provided.
</li>
<li>
No <strong>C startup files</strong> for GNU toolchain are provided.
</li>
<li>
No <strong>C startup files</strong> for IAR toolchain are provided.
</li>
<li>
No <strong>Tasking</strong> projects are provided yet.
</li>
</ul>
