System View Description Converter

The System View Description Converter (SVDConv) validates XML-based CMSIS-SVD description files and generates peripheral register files (*.sfr) for being used with the System Viewer.

The command line utility (SVDConv.exe) is located in the installation folder ..\UV4. The XML-based CMSIS-SVD file serves as the input file. The resulting file is created in the current directory. Errors and warnings are printed to the console. The general syntax is:

SVDConv <SVD file> 〚Command Options〛

• XML-based description files can be downloaded from the CMSIS-SVD web page. Description files could have the suffix *.xml instead of *.svd.
