125 <li>Project creation and build of embedded applications utilizing <a href="https://www.keil.arm.com/packs/">Software Packs</a> with support for multiple compilation tools.</li>

135 Project Creation</h1>
136 <p>The following tools support the creation of build information for embedded applications:</p>
137 <table class="markdownTable">
138 <tr class="markdownTableHead">
139 <th class="markdownTableHeadLeft">Tool   </th><th class="markdownTableHeadLeft">Description    </th></tr>
140 <tr class="markdownTableRowOdd">
141 <td class="markdownTableBodyLeft"><b>cpackget</b>   </td><td class="markdownTableBodyLeft"><b>Pack Manager:</b> install and manage software packs in the development environment.    </td></tr>

146 </table>
147 <p>The build information is defined with <b>User Input Files</b> in YAML format. It starts with a <code>*.csolution.yml</code> file that refers related, but independent projects defined with <code>*.cproject.yml</code> files. A <code>*.cproject.yml</code> may refer one or more <code>*.clayer.yml</code> files that define re-usable project parts that may be shared across projects.</p>
148 <p>The build information can refer to <b>Software Packs</b> that define Device and Board information and provide access to re-usable software components such as drivers and middleware. A <code>cdefault.yml</code> file provides a common setup for various compilers and generic translation controls enable compiler agonistic projects; compiler toolchain specific controls may be used when required.</p>
149 <p>The <b>Output Files</b> contain detailed build information and manage the configuration files for software components.</p>
150 <p>The diagram below provides an overview of the <b>build information</b> used by the CMSIS-Toolbox.</p>

156 Benefits</h2>
157 <ul>
158 <li>Flexible CLI tools that can be used stand-alone or integrated into <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Arm.keil-studio-pack">VS Code</a> or DevOps systems for Continuous Integration (CI).</li>
159 <li>Stand-alone tools that are available for all host platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) and flexible deployable.</li>
160 <li><a href="https://www.keil.arm.com/packs/">Software Packs</a> simplify tool setup with <code>device:</code> or <code>board:</code> selection and project creation with access to reusable software components.</li>
161 <li>Organize solutions with projects that are independently managed simplifies a wide range of use cases including multi-processor applications or unit testing.</li>
162 <li>Provisions for product lifecycle management (PLM) with versioned software packs that are easy to update and management for configuration files.</li>
163 <li>Software layers enable code reuse across similar applications with a pre-configured set of source files and software components.</li>
164 <li>Multiple hardware targets allow application deployment to different hardware (test board, production hardware, virtual hardware, etc.).</li>
165 <li>Multiple build types support software testing and verification (debug build, test build, release build, ect.).</li>
166 </ul>
167 <h1><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md3"></a>
168 Software Pack Creation</h1>
169 <p>The following tools support the creation of Software Packs in <a href="https://open-cmsis-pack.github.io/Open-CMSIS-Pack-Spec/main/html/index.html">CMSIS-Pack format</a>:</p>
170 <table class="markdownTable">
