CMSIS Version 5.0.0 is now available as beta release, but will need further refinement as we are reviewing the feedback that we have got via various channels. We are scheduling the final release for November 2016.
This GitHub repository reflects our current development stage and is constantly updated.
The pre-built documentation is available under http://arm-software.github.io/CMSIS_5/General/html/index.html
Use Issues to provide feedback and report problems for CMSIS Version 5. Note that this repository gives our users and partners contiguous access to the CMSIS development. It allows you to review the work and provide feedback or create pull requests for contributions.

This GitHub development repository contains already pre-build libraries of various libraries (DSP, RTOS, RTOS2). These libraries are validated for release.
To build a complete CMSIS pack for installation the following additional tools are required:
- doxygen.exe Version: 1.8.6 (Documentation Generator)
- mscgen.exe Version: 0.20 (Message Sequence Chart Converter)
- 7z.exe (7-Zip) Version: 16.02 (File Archiver)
Using these tools, you can generate on a Windows PC:
-
CMSIS Software Pack using the batch file gen_pack.bat (located in ./CMSIS/Utilities). This batch file also generates the documentation.
-
CMSIS Documentation using the batch file genDoc.bat (located in ./CMSIS/Doxygen).
The file ./CMSIS/DoxyGen/How2Doc.txt describes the rules for creating API documentation.
