\mainpage Introduction
This manual explains the scope and the usage of the Software Pack for CMSIS-Driver Validation.
CMSIS-Driver specifies the
software API for peripheral driver interfaces that connect microcontroller peripherals with middleware or the user application.
The CMSIS-Driver Validation is used to validate the driver implementation compliance to the CMSIS-Driver specification.
The CMSIS-Driver Validation provides:
- Configurable validation tests for various CMSIS-Driver interfaces
- Example projects that show the usage of the CMSIS-Driver Validation
- Various Servers used for testing
The CMSIS-Driver Validation tests and verifies:
- API interface using the driver capabilities as well as valid and invalid parameters
- Data communication with various transfer sizes and communication parameters:
- Loopback testing (for some interfaces) for testing of the underlying hardware with usage of a local loopback
- Server testing (for some interfaces) for extensive testing of the underlying hardware with usage of a dedicated Server
- Transfer speed of the data communication with time measurement of data transfer duration
- Event signaling
The CMSIS-Driver Validation requires
CMSIS-RTOS2 functionality and can be
used to verify the setup and configuration of the CMSIS-Driver interfaces in a user system.
The diagram below shows an overview of the CMSIS-Driver Validation configuration.

This manual contains the following chapters:
- \ref setup - Describes the general setup of the CMSIS-Driver Validation test and how to generate test report.
- \ref report - Describes the reports produced by the CMSIS-Driver Validation.
- \ref debugging - Describes procedure for debugging of the interface drivers using the CMSIS-Driver Validation.
- \ref resource_requirements - Lists memory and CMSIS-RTOS2 requirements.
- \ref examples - Contains information about several example projects including the required hardware setup.
- Reference - Explains the configuration and tests for the various CMSIS-Driver interfaces.
The CMSIS-Driver Validation provides validation for the following interfaces:
- \ref dv_can "CAN" - Controller Area Network (CAN) interface driver.
- \ref dv_eth "Ethernet" - Ethernet MAC and PHY peripheral interface driver.
- \ref dv_i2c "I2C" - Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) multi-master serial single-ended bus interface driver.
- \ref dv_mci "MCI" - Memory Card Interface driver for SD/MMC memory.
- \ref dv_spi "SPI" - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) driver.
- \ref dv_usart "USART" - Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART) interface driver.
- \ref dv_usbd "USB Device" - Universal Serial Bus (USB) Device interface driver.
- \ref dv_usbh "USB Host" - Universal Serial Bus (USB) Host interface driver.
- \ref dv_wifi "WiFi" - WiFi (Wireless Fidelity Interface) module/shield driver.
\note Extensive testing using dedicated Server is available for SPI and USART drivers.
