# SVDs

`SVD` stands for System View Description and they are an `XML` schema created by ARM to represent the [CMSIS](https://www.arm.com/technologies/cmsis) information typically for Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers. They can be used for generating headers and providing information to debuggers among other tasks. `CMSIS` stands for _Common Microcontroller Software Interface Standard_ and was created as a hardware abstraction layer to be independent of what silicon vendor was implementing the ARM standard.
