The <a class="el" href="device_h_pg.html">Device Header File &lt;device.h&gt;</a> is included in all source files that need device access and can be stored on a central include folder that is generic for all projects.</dd></dl>
<p>The <a class="el" href="startup__ARMCA9_8c.html#ae7ee340978f5c25f52f0cad1457c6616">Reset_Handler</a> defined in <a class="el" href="startup_c_pg.html">Startup File startup_&lt;device&gt;.c</a> is executed after reset. The default initialization sequence is</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p>After the system initialization control is transferred to the C/C++ run-time library which performs initialization and calls the <b>main</b> function in the user code. In addition the <a class="el" href="startup_c_pg.html">Startup File startup_&lt;device&gt;.c</a> contains a weak default handler implementation for every exception. It may also contain stack and heap configurations for the user application.</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="system_c_pg.html">System Configuration Files system_&lt;device&gt;.c and system_&lt;device&gt;.h</a> performs the setup for the processor clock and the initialization of memory caches, memory management unit, generic interrupt interface and floating point unit. The variable <a class="el" href="group__system__init__gr.html#gaa3cd3e43291e81e795d642b79b6088e6">SystemCoreClock</a> indicates the CPU clock speed. <a class="el" href="group__system__init__gr.html">System and Clock Configuration</a> describes the minimum feature set. In addition the file may contain functions for the memory bus setup and clock re-configuration.</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="device_h_pg.html">Device Header File &lt;device.h&gt;</a> is the central include file that the application programmer is using in the C/C++ source code. It provides the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="el" href="group__peripheral__gr.html">Peripheral Access</a> provides a standardized register layout for all peripherals. Optionally functions for device-specific peripherals may be available.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="group__GIC__functions.html">Generic Interrupt Controller Functions</a> can be accessed with standardized symbols and functions for the General Interrupt Controller (GIC) are provided.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__Core__InstructionInterface.html">Intrinsic Functions</a> allow to access special instructions, for example for activating sleep mode or the NOP instruction.</li>
<li><a class="el" href="group__PL1__timer__functions.html">Generic</a> and <a class="el" href="group__PTM__timer__functions.html">Private</a> Timer functions to configure and start a periodic timer interrupt.</li>

</ul>
<p>CMSIS-Pack provides the <b>#define CMSIS_header_file</b> in <a href="../../Pack/html/pdsc_components_pg.html#RTE_Components_h"><b>RTE_Components.h</b></a> which gives you access to this <b><em>device</em>.h</b> file.</p>

<p> The CMSIS-Core-A user files are device specific. In addition, the <a class="el" href="startup_c_pg.html">Startup File startup_&lt;device&gt;.c</a> is also compiler vendor specific.
