CMSIS-View provides software components and utilities that allow embedded software developers to analyze program execution flows, debug potential issues, and measure code execution times. The data can be observed in real-time in an IDE or can be saved as a log file during program execution.
This repository contains the source code of:
- ARM::CMSIS-View pack that provides the Event Recorder and Fault software components.
- EventList command line utility that allows to dump the events on command line.
- Example Projects that show the usage of the Event Recorder and Fault components.
CMSIS-View documentation explains available functionality and APIs.
Note
- CMSIS-View replaces and extends functionality previously provided as part of Keil::ARM_Compiler pack.
- See Migrating projects from CMSIS v5 to CMSIS v6 for a guidance on updating existing projects to CMSIS-View.

Generating the HTML-formatted documentation from its Doxygen-based source is done via
CMSIS-View $ ./Documentation/Doxygen/gen_doc.shPrerequisites for this script to succeed are:
- Doxygen 1.9.6
Also see Documentation README.
The CMSIS-Pack bundle can be generated with
CMSIS-View $ ./gen_pack.shPrerequisites for this script to succeed are:
- Generated documentation (see above)
- 7z/GNU Zip
- packchk (e.g., via CMSIS-Toolbox)
- xmllint (optional)
The version and changelog embedded into the documentation and pack are inferred from the local Git history. In order to get the full changelog one needs to have a full clone (not a shallow one) including all release tags.
The version numbers and change logs are taken from the available annotated tags.
A release is simply done via the GitHub Web UI. The newly created tag needs to have
the pattern pack/<version> where <version> shall be the SemVer <major>.<minor>.<patch>
version string for the release. The release description is used as the change log
message for the release.
When using an auto-generated tag (via Web UI) the release description is used as the annotation message for the generated tag. Alternatively, one can prepare the release tag in the local clone and add the annotation message independently from creating the release.
Once the release is published via the GitHub Web UI the release workflow generates the documentation and the pack (see above) and attaches the resulting pack archive as an additional asset to the release.
The command line utility to decode EventRecorder log files written in Go.
To build and EventList run make.sh script.
CMSIS-View/tools/eventlist $ ./make.sh build
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -v -ldflags '-X "..."' -o ./eventlist.exe ./cmd/eventlist
build finished successfully!
CMSIS-View/tools/eventlist $ ./make.sh test

and/or -os <os> on the make.sh command line, see --help for details.
A release for EventList utility is done independently from the CMSIS-View pack via
the GitHub Web UI. The release tag must match the pattern tools/eventlist/<version>
where <version> is a SemVer string.
The GitHub Action release workflow is triggered once a release is published. The workflow builds release bundles for all supported target platforms and attaches them as assets to the release.
