CMSIS_5

C takes on many dialects based on specialization. Compare code from the following, and you will see a range from trivial to understand to WTF. These are all real-world applications: - Linux kernel (events) - https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/events/... - Arm CMSIS - (16-bit math) - https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/blob/develop/CMSIS/D... - Numerical Methods in C - (Jacobian FP) - https://github.com/saulwiggin/Numerical-Recipies-in-C/blob/m... - GNU 'ls' Command - https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/ls.c - Gstreamer - (De-facto media streaming) - https://github.com/GStreamer/gstreamer/blob/master/gst/gstel... GStreamer is my favorite because it basically creates VTables like C++ but calls them Klasses (based on Gnome), and it is just a brilliant framework in general, but an utter perversion of C

CMSIS is Arm's own standard ("Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard") for low-level software interfacing. It's on Github [1], and rather nice. Vendor's middleware can be of varying quality, so just using CMSIS seems refreshingly nice! [1] https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5

I think most users are going to wait until CMSIS or their local equivalent is available: https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5 Besides, it's a big retraining effort.
