The project is currently hosted and managed as an incubation project by Linaro in partnership with Arm, NXP and STMicroelectronics.
 
- Software compatibility for component re-use has long been a challenge in the microcontroller space, especially for the IoT, which is much more diverse at the hardware level compared to PCs or the data center. Open-CMSIS-Pack will remove this complexity, delivering a standard for software component packaging and related foundation tools for validation, distribution, integration, management, and maintenance.

- The Open-CMSIS-Pack project was established in April 2021. The roadmap is not finalized, but Linaro and project members expect to deliver the following:
-
- * Create command-line tools for project builds based on software packs
- * Create workflows and utilities for the verification of software packs
- * Extend the pack description format for better usability across the complete workflow
- * Define processes that simplify the creation of software packs from other sources, such as CMake based projects
- * Develop the concept of a software layer that defines a collection of pre-configured software components
- * Organize the taxonomies of standard APIs that are essential for re-useable software stacks
+ Refer to the [Open-CMSIS-Pack specification](https://open-cmsis-pack.github.io/Open-CMSIS-Pack-Spec/main/html/index.html) for more information.
 
+ ### What is the CMSIS-Toolbox?
 
+ The CMSIS-Toolbox provides command-line tools for project creation and build of embedded applications utilizing CMSIS-Packs. It supports multiple compilation tools. It also helps you with software pack creation, maintenance, and distribution utilizing the CMSIS-Pack format.
