BSPACM is a build environment and development framework for ARM Cortex^®-M applications.

Warning: BSPACM is in early development stages. The build infrastructure is stable enough to use; higher-level capabilities are mostly absent.

BSPACM features:

A common Make-based infrastructure for cross-platform applications;
Support for several experimenter boards across multiple vendor lines:
- two Tiva™ C Series launchpads;
- four Silicon Labs EFM32™ Gecko STKs;
- five Nordic nRF51 series development boards;
Leverages:
- CMSIS for the low-level API across platforms;
- Access to vendor-specific libraries and CMSIS device headers for full control of specific peripherals;
- A higher-level API to abstract the vendor-specific peripherals into common capabilities (such as LED control, UARTs, etc.)

BSPACM requires:

A POSIX command-line development environment including GNU make;
GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors 4_8-2013q4 or later release;
Vendor-specific CMSIS files for the target device. These are readily provided by most vendors; CMSIS for some Texas Instruments devices may be found if you search hard enough.

The overall concept is similar to BSP430, which supports device-independent software development for the TI MSP430™ microcontroller. The Cortex-M is much more architecturally consistent and allows use of board-specific libraries without relying on a complex application-specific compile-time configuration infrastructure that was required by BSP430.
