2 STANDARD (CMSIS) SPECIFICATION AND SOFTWARE
\r
4 THIS END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT ("LICENCE") IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (EITHER A
\r
5 SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, OR SINGLE LEGAL ENTITY) AND ARM LIMITED ("ARM") FOR THE USE OF THE
\r
6 CMSIS SPECIFICATION, EXAMPLE CODE, DSP LIBRARY SPECIFICATION AND DSP LIBRARY
\r
7 IMPLEMENTATION AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED BELOW (COLLECTIVELY, THE "ARM
\r
8 DELIVERABLES"). ARM IS ONLY WILLING TO LICENSE THE ARM DELIVERABLES TO YOU ON CONDITION
\r
9 THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS IN THIS LICENCE. BY CLICKING "I AGREE", OR BY INSTALLING
\r
10 OR OTHERWISE USING OR COPYING THE ARM DELIVERABLES YOU INDICATE THAT YOU AGREE TO
\r
11 BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS OF THIS LICENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS
\r
12 LICENCE, ARM IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE YOU TO USE THE ARM DELIVERABLES AND YOU MAY NOT
\r
13 INSTALL, USE OR COPY THE ARM DELIVERABLES.
\r
15 "CMSIS Specification" means any documentation and C programming language files defining the application
\r
16 programming interface, naming and coding conventions of the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface
\r
17 Standard (CMSIS) as well as the System View Description (SVD) documentation and associated XML schema
\r
18 file. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "CMSIS Specification" shall not include (i) the implementation of other
\r
19 published specifications referenced in the CMSIS Specification; (ii) any enabling technologies that may be
\r
20 necessary to make or use any product or portion thereof that complies with the CMSIS Specification, but are not
\r
21 themselves expressly set forth in the CMSIS Specification (e.g. compiler front ends, code generators, back ends,
\r
22 libraries or other compiler, assembler or linker technologies; validation or debug software or hardware;
\r
23 applications, operating system or driver software; RISC architecture; processor microarchitecture); (iii)

\r
25 integrated circuit designs.
\r
27 "DSP Library Implementation" means any C programming language source code implementing the functionality
\r
28 of the digital signal processor (DSP) algorithms and the application programming interface as defined in the DSP
\r
29 Library Specification. The DSP Library Implementation makes use of CMSIS application programming interface
\r
30 and therefore is targeted at Cortex-M class processors.
\r
32 "DSP Library Specification" means the DSP library documentation and C programming language file defining the
\r
33 application programming interface of the DSP Library Implementation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "DSP
\r
34 Library Specification" shall not include (i) the implementation of other published specifications referenced in the
\r
35 DSP Library Specification; (ii) any enabling technologies that may be necessary to make or use any product or
\r
36 portion thereof that complies with the DSP Library Specification, but are not themselves expressly set forth in the
\r
37 DSP Library Specification (e.g. compiler front ends, code generators, back ends, libraries or other compiler,
\r
38 assembler or linker technologies; validation or debug software or hardware; applications, operating system or
\r
39 driver software; RISC architecture; processor microarchitecture); (iii) maskworks and physical layouts of
\r
40 integrated circuit designs; or (iv) RTL or other high level representations of integrated circuit designs.
\r
42 "Example Code" means any files in C, C++ or ARM assembly programming languages, associated project and
\r
43 configuration files that demonstrate the usage of the CMSIS Specification, the DSP Library Specification and the
\r
44 DSP Library Implementation, for microprocessors or device specific software applications that are for use with
\r
49 1.1 ARM hereby grants to you, subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence, a non-exclusive, nontransferable

54 CMSIS Specification, provided that you preserve any copyright notices which are included with, or in, the CMSIS
\r
55 Specification and provided that you do not use ARM's name, logo or trademarks to market such products;
\r
57 (ii) use, copy, and modify (solely to the extent necessary to incorporate the whole or any part of the DSP Library
\r
58 Specification into your documentation), the DSP Library Specification, for the purpose of developing, having
\r
59 developed, manufacturing, having manufactured, offering to sell, selling, supplying or otherwise distributing
\r
60 products that comply with the DSP Library Specification, and distribute and have distributed any documentation
\r
61 created by or for you that has been derived from the DSP Library Specification with such products, provided that

131 7. TERM AND TERMINATION.
\r
133 7.1 This Licence shall remain in force until terminated in accordance with the terms of Clause 7.2 or Clause 7.3
\r
136 7.2 Without prejudice to any of its other rights if you are in breach of any of the terms and conditions of this

\r
138 this Licence at any time.
\r
140 7.3 This Licence shall immediately terminate and shall be unavailable to you if you or any party affiliated to you
\r
141 asserts any patents against ARM, ARM affiliates, third parties who have a valid licence from ARM for the ARM
\r
142 Deliverables, or any customers or distributors of any of them based upon a claim that your (or your affiliate)
\r
143 patent is Necessary to implement the CMSIS Specification or DSP Library Specification. In this Licence; (i)
\r
144 "affiliate" means any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party (in fact or in law, via
\r
145 voting securities, management control or otherwise) and "affiliated" shall be construed accordingly; (ii) "assert"
\r
146 means to allege infringement in legal or administrative proceedings, or proceedings before any other competent
\r
147 trade, arbitral or international authority; (iii) "Necessary" means with respect to any claims of any patent, those
\r
148 claims which, without the appropriate permission of the patent owner, will be infringed when implementing the
\r
149 CMSIS Specification or DSP Library Specification because no alternative, commercially reasonable, noninfringing
\r
150 way of implementing the CMSIS Specification or DSP Library Specification is known.
\r
152 7.4 Upon termination of this Licence, you shall stop using the ARM Deliverables and destroy all copies of the
\r
153 ARM Deliverables in your possession. The provisions of clauses 5, 6, 7, and 8 shall survive termination of this
\r
158 This Licence is governed by English Law. Except where ARM agrees otherwise in a written contract signed by
\r
159 you and ARM, this is the only agreement between you and ARM relating to the ARM Deliverables and it may only
\r
160 be modified by written agreement between you and ARM. Except as expressly agreed in writing, this Licence
\r
161 may not be modified by purchase orders, advertising or other representation by any person. If any clause or
\r
162 sentence in this Licence is held by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions of this
\r
163 Licence shall not be affected thereby. The failure by ARM to enforce any of the provisions of this Licence, unless
\r
164 waived in writing, shall not constitute a waiver of ARM's rights to enforce such provision or any other provision of
\r
165 this Licence in the future. This Licence may not be assigned without the prior written consent of ARM.
