<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
  @{

<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
       <ul>
         <li>CoreSupport</li>
         <li>DeviceSupport</li>

           </ul>
         </li>
       </ul>
    </li>
     
    <li>Documentation</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>
