The SAM-ESV7_SFP Software Foundation Pack (SFP) adds several Software Components that give you easy access to the Atmel SAM-ESV7 Chip Library. The SFP adds also CMSIS-Drivers for all relevant peripherals that are easy to configure using the classic RTE_Device.h configuration files.

Software Components

The following table lists the Software Components of the SAM-ESV7 Chip Library. The implementation in this Software Pack is based on SAMV71 Xplained Ultra Software Package V1.4 available from Atmel.

Component	Description
::Board Support	Board Support interfaces for I/O hardware of several evaluation boards.
::CMSIS Driver	Unified device drivers compliant to the CMSIS-Driver specification. These drivers are implemented using the functions of the SAM-ESV7 Chip Library.
::Device:Startup	Startup and system file for the SAM-E7x, SAM-S7x, and SAM-V7x device series. This component adds also the RTE_Device.h file that is used for configuration of the CMSIS-Drivers.
::Device:SAM-ESV7 Chip Library	Provides basic drivers, software services, libraries for Atmel Cortex-M7-based microcontrollers. It contains full source code, usage examples, documentation, and ready-to-use projects.

User Code Templates

The following table lists the User Code Templates that are part of the SAM-ESV7_SFP Software Foundation Pack and help you to setup projects quickly.

Component	Template Name	Description
::Device:Startup	Main file (.c)	Code template for C source code. Adds the file main.c to the project.
::Device:Startup	Main file (.cpp)	Code template for C++ source code. Adds the file main.cpp to the project.

Directory Structure

The complete Atmel Chip Library is included in the Device Family Pack with identical directory structure. To provide the CMSIS-Pack and CMSIS-Driver specific functionality, the following directories are added:

Directory or File	Description
.\Boards	Board support files including interfaces, example projects, and documentation.
.\Device	File templates for starting the application code.
.\Documents	Documentation, user manuals and datasheets for the various SAM-V7x devices to allow easy access in the IDE.
.\Flash	CMSIS-Pack Flash algorithms for the various SAM-E7x, SAM-S7x, and SAM-V7x devices.
.\RTE_Driver	Source and include files of the CMSIS-Driver implementations.
.\SVD	CMSIS-SVD files for the various SAM-E7x, SAM-S7x, and SAM-V7x devices.
Keil.SAM-ESV7_SFP.pdsc	CMSIS-Pack package description file for the SAM-E7x, SAM-S7x, and SAM-V7x Software Foundation Pack.
