3 CMSIS-Core (Cortex-M) implements the basic run-time system for a Cortex-M device and gives the user access to the processor core and the device peripherals.
5 - <b>Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)</b> for Cortex-M processor registers with standardized definitions for the SysTick, NVIC, System Control Block registers, MPU registers, FPU registers, and core access functions.
6 - <b>System exception names</b> to interface to system exceptions without having compatibility issues.
7 - <b>Methods to organize header files</b> that makes it easy to learn new Cortex-M microcontroller products and improve software portability. This includes naming conventions for device-specific interrupts.
8 - <b>Methods for system initialization</b> to be used by each MCU vendor. For example, the standardized SystemInit() function is essential for configuring the clock system of the device.
9 - <b>Intrinsic functions</b> used to generate CPU instructions that are not supported by standard C functions.
10 - A variable to determine the <b>system clock frequency</b> which simplifies the setup the SysTick timer.
