END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT FOR THE CORTEX MICROCONTROLLER SOFTWARE INTERFACE
STANDARD (CMSIS) DELIVERABLES
THIS END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT ("LICENCE") IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (EITHER A
SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, OR SINGLE LEGAL ENTITY) AND ARM LIMITED ("ARM") FOR THE USE OF THE
CMSIS DELIVERABLES. ARM IS ONLY WILLING TO LICENSE THE CMSIS DELIVERABLES TO YOU ON
CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS IN THIS LICENCE. BY CLICKING "I AGREE", OR BY
INSTALLING OR OTHERWISE USING OR COPYING THE CMSIS DELIVERABLES YOU INDICATE THAT
YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THIS LICENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE
TERMS OF THIS LICENCE, ARM IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE YOU TO USE OF THE CMSIS DELIVERABLES
AND YOU MAY NOT INSTALL, USE OR COPY THE CMSIS DELIVERABLES.
“Deliverables” means (i) the CMSIS Deliverables; (ii) CMSIS-DAP Specification; (iii) CMSIS-DAP Firmware; and
(iv) RDDI DLL.
“CMSIS-DAP Specification” means any documentation defining the application programming interface, naming
and coding conventions of the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard Debug Access Port (“CMSIS-
DAP”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, “CMSIS-DAP Specification” shall not include: (i) the implementation of
other published specifications referenced in the CMSIS-DAP Specification; and (ii) any enabling technologies that
may be necessary to make or use any product or portions thereof that complies with the CMSIS-DAP
Specification, but are not themselves expressly set forth in the CMSIS-DAP Specification (e.g. compiler front
ends, code generators, back ends, libraries or other compiler, assembler or linker technologies; validation or
debug software or hardware; applications, operating system or driver software; RISC architecture; and processor
microarchitecture).
“CMSIS-DAP Firmware” means the C programming language source code accompanying this Licence which
implements the functionality of the application programming interface as defined in the CMSIS-DAP Specification
and any updates, patches and modifications ARM may make available under the terms of this Licence.
“CMSIS Deliverables” means the following components: (i) CMSIS-CORE; (ii) CMSIS-DRIVER; (iii) CMSIS-DSP;
(iv) CMSIS-PACK; (v) CMSIS-RTOS API; and (vi) CMSIS-SVD .
“CMSIS-CORE” means the specification defining the application programming interface, naming and coding
conventions for the Cortex-M processor cores.
”CMSIS-DRIVER” means the specification defining a generic peripheral driver application programming interface,
naming and coding conventions.
“CMSIS-DSP” means the digital signal process (DSP) library specification defining the application programming
interface of a DSP library implementation.
“CMSIS-PACK” means the specification defining a software pack file format, verification utility, and the
associated XML schema file.
“CMSIS-RTOS API” means the real-time operating system (RTOS) specification defining a generic application
programming interface layer for a RTOS system.
“CMSIS-SVD” means the specification defining the System View Description (SVD), verification utility, and
associated XML schema files.
“Firmware” means firmware that complies with the CMSIS-DAP Specification.
“RDDI DLL” means the reference implementation of a device driver accompanying this Licence in object code
form and any updates, patches and modifications ARM may agree to make available under the terms of this
Licence and is used with targets containing microprocessors manufactured or simulated under licence from ARM.
“Separate Files” means the components identified in the Schedule..
