This manual explains how to create projects that utilize the Chip Library of the Atmel Software Package for SAM-E7x, SAM-S7x, and SAM-V7x device series together with Keil MDK Version 5, which provides Device Family Packs (DFP) for the above mentioned device series.

The following MDK Software Packs for Atmel Cortex-M7 devices are available:

Software Pack	Description
Keil:SAM-E_DFP	Device Family Pack for Atmel SAM-E7x device series.
Keil:SAM-S_DFP	Device Family Pack for Atmel SAM-S7x device series.
Keil:SAM-V_DFP	Device Family Pack for Atmel SAM-V7x device series.
Keil.SAM-ESV7_SFP	Software Foundation Pack for SAM-E7x, SAM-S7x, and SAM-V7x device series. It requires the installation of the related device family packs (version 2.x or higher). Includes the SAM-ESV7 Chip Library, SAM-ESV7 Framework (API), and a full set of CMSIS-Driver that provide standardized peripheral interfaces. This version of the SFP is based on version 1.4 of the Atmel Software Package. CMSIS-Driver: extends the SAM-ESV7 Chip Library with standardized drivers for middleware and generic component interfaces. Middleware Examples: demonstrate the features of the MDK Professional Middleware.

The diagram below is an overview of the complete software stack that is available with Keil MDK Version 5.

Refer to MDK Version 5 - CMSIS and the CMSIS Workshop for additional information.

This manual contains the chapters:

Configuration via RTE_Device.h explains how to setup the CMSIS Drivers using header files.
Software Packs for Atmel Cortex-M7 describes the implemented Software Components, code templates, and the folder structure.

This manual assumes that you are familiar with MDK. Refer to MDK Version 5 - Getting Started for additional information.
