## Generate CMSIS Pack for Release



This GitHub development repository lacks pre-built libraries of various software components (RTOS, RTOS2).

In order to generate a full pack one needs to have the build environment available to build these libraries.

This causes some sort of inconvenience. Hence the pre-built libraries may be moved out into separate pack(s)

in the future.



To build a complete CMSIS pack for installation the following additional tools are required:

 - **doxygen.exe**    Version: 1.8.6 (Documentation Generator)

 - **mscgen.exe**     Version: 0.20  (Message Sequence Chart Converter)

 - **7z.exe (7-Zip)** Version: 16.02 (File Archiver)



Using these tools, you can generate on a Windows PC:

 - **CMSIS Documentation** using the batch file **gen_doc.sh** (located in ./CMSIS/Doxygen).

 - **CMSIS Software Pack** using the batch file **gen_pack.sh** (located in ./CMSIS/Utilities).

   The bash script does not generate the documentation. The pre-built libraries for RTX4 and RTX5

   are not included within this repository.



The file ./CMSIS/DoxyGen/How2Doc.txt describes the rules for creating API documentation.

is your best way to interact directly with the maintenance team and the community.

We encourage you to append implementation suggestions as this helps to decrease the

workload of the very limited maintenance team.



We will be monitoring and responding to issues as best we can.

- **enhancement** – Denotes something that will be implemented soon.



- **future** - Denotes something not yet schedule for implementation.



- **out-of-scope** - We consider this issue loosely related to CMSIS. It might by implemented outside of CMSIS. Let us know about your work.



- **question** – We have further questions to this issue. Please review and provide feedback.
