- <ul>
- <li><a class="el" href="cprjFormat_pg.html">CPRJ</a> is a generic CMSIS-aware project file format that allows IDEs and command-line build tools to share the same projects.</li>
- <li>A <a class="el" href="CmdLineBuild.html">Continuous Integration (CI) work flow</a> for projects that are based on software components supplied in CMSIS-Pack format.</li>
- <li>Software Layers enable code reuse across different targets. A software layer is a pre-configured software component selection and user source code.</li>
- <li><a href="../../Driver/html/group__vio__interface__gr.html"><b>CMSIS-Driver VIO</b></a> is a set of generic input/output functions for example and test code. It allows to fast migration from evaluation boards to production hardware.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>The figure below shows how the <b>CMSIS-Build</b> components may be used to create a IoT cloud application:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>The <b>Board I/O</b> layer contains the drivers and device configuration for a specific evaluation board.</li>
- <li>The <b>Cloud</b> layer implements the software components that are required to connect to a Cloud Service Provider (CSP).</li>
- <li>The <b>Application Code</b> may start with reference example and is expanded to application specific requirements that access specialized peripherals.</li>

- Software Layers and Virtual I/O</div></div>
- <p>Software layers and Virtual I/O simplify these use cases:</p>
- <p><b>Port software from evaluation board to custom hardware:</b><br/>
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Frequently, the software development starts on an evaluation board, for example because production hardware is not yet available. The <a href="../../Driver/html/group__vio__interface__gr.html"><b>VIO component</b></a> allows you to use the I/O capabilities of an evaluation kit and disconnect it when moving to production hardware. In case the production hardware uses a different device configuration or different I/O drivers, the <b>Board I/O</b> layer may be swapped.</li>
- </ul>
- <p><b>Deliver reference examples for many different evaluation boards:</b><br/>
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Reference examples are a great way to demonstrate a software solution. It is however expensive to support many different evaluation boards. The VIO and CMSIS-Driver components give reference examples for a consistent interface to target hardware. When such a consistent set of components is available as a <b>Board I/O</b> layer for many different evaluation boards, it allows to run a <b>Cloud</b> layer together with a reference example. The tools for <a class="el" href="CmdLineBuild.html">Command Line Build</a> allow to combine various different layers and allow in this way to generate several different reference examples on a range of evaluation boards.</li>
