<div class="textblock"><p>The <b>Pack Description (*.pdsc) Format</b> uses standard XML annotations and is defined in the schema file <b>PACK.xsd</b>. Software components are distributed through <b>Software Packs</b>. A <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> is a zip file containing a single <b>Pack Description</b> file that describes dependencies to devices, processors, tool chains, or other software components.</p>
<p>A descriptive text of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>along the text information for devices, components, and examples is part of each a <b>Pack Description</b> (*.pdsc) file. In addition, information is provided which facilitates downloading, updating, and versioning of of a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>. The *.pdsc file contains also the complete version history of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> with a brief list of the most significant changes.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="Filenames"></a>
Filename Conventions</h1>
<p>A <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> must have a unique filename which uses the following format: <b><vendor>.<name>.<version>.pack</b>.</p>
<p><b>Where:</b> </p>
<ul>
<li><b><vendor></b>: name of the supplier or vendor of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
<li><b><name></b>: name of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>. It is the vendor's responsibility to ensure unique package names.</li>
<li><b><release version="X.Y.Z"></b>: <a class="el" href="pdsc_package_pg.html#VersionType">version number</a> of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
<li><b>.pack</b>: file extension identifying a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
</ul>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><vendor> and <name> <em>must</em> <em>not</em> contain spaces.</dd></dl>
<p><br/>
The <b>Pack Description</b> (*.pdsc) file belonging to such a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> file (<vendor>.<name>.<version>.pack) is version independent and has the format: <b><vendor>.<name>.pdsc</b>.</p>
<p><b>Where:</b> </p>
<ul>
<li><b><vendor></b>: name of the supplier or vendor of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
<li><b><name></b>: name of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a> that is described by this *.pdsc file.</li>
<li><b>.pack</b>: file extension identifying a <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
</ul>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><vendor> and <name> <em>must</em> <em>not</em> contain spaces.</dd></dl>
<p>Example filenames for software packs:</p>
<p>Software Pack for CMSIS Version 4.0 released by Arm.</p>
<ul>
<li><b>ARM.CMSIS.4.0.0.pack</b>: filename of the <a class="el" href="cp_SWComponents.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>

<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>All elements are case sensitive and must be consistently spelled in all places, i.e. the definition in the PDSC file must match the filenames of the *.pdsc and *.pack files. The file extensions (*.pdsc and *.pack) must be lower case.</dd></dl>

Pack Schema</h1>
<p>The XML schema file <b>PACK.xsd</b> defines the sections used in a <b>*.pdsc</b> file. The current <b>PACK.xsd</b> can be found in the ARM.CMSIS pack in the directory .\CMSIS\Utilities.</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="packFormat.html">Pack Description (*.pdsc) Format</a> is structured using grouping elements and contains the following top level elements:</p>
<ul>
