    CCFG
    Customer Configuration

        Customer Configuration is set by the application and contains
        configuration parameters for the ROM boot code, device hardware, and
        device firmware. It contains lock-bits on the last page of flash. You
        can read more in the Customer Configuration section in the |TRM|.

    CCS
    Code Composer Studio

        An integrated development environment to develop applications for
        Texas Instruments embedded processors. Download: `Code Composer
        Studio`_

    DTB
    Digital Test Bus

        Internal clocks and interrupts can be brought out to I/O pins via DTB
        muxing. Refer to the |TRM| for more details.

    FreeRTOS

        A free, open source Real Time Operating System(RTOS).

    eRPC
    Embedded Remote Procedure Call

        An open source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system for multichip embedded
        systems and heterogeneous multicore SoCs.

    GCC
    GNU Compiler Collection

        A compiler system produced by the GNU Project, which support various
        programming languages such as C and C++.

    IAR

        Refers to IAR Systems' IAR Embedded Workbench, which is an integrated
        development environment used for building and debugging embedded
        applications.

    MCU
    Microcontroller Unit

        A small computer on a single integrated circuit.

    NVS
    Non-Volatile Storage

        Storage of data in non-volatile memory (NVM). NVM retains saved data
        during power cycles. In the context of |DEVICE| devices, NVM either
        refers to the internal flash or some external flash.

    PTX

        Primary Transmitter or "PTX" is the device that acts as the transmitter in the system most of the time. 

    PRX

        Primary Receiver or "PRX" is the device that acts as the receiver in the system most of the time. 
        
    ROM
    Read-only Memory

        Type of non-volatile memory used in computers. Once data is written to
        ROM, the data cannot be removed and can only be read.

    RTSC
    Real Time Software Components

        A toolset for creating reusable code, used by TI-RTOS. See
        `RTSC <http://www.eclipse.org/rtsc/>`_ and `RTSC-Pedia
        <http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Main_Page>`_.

    SWD
    Serial Wired Debug

        It is a 2-pin debug interface defined by Arm. See |SWD_PROTOCOL|
        for more information.

    SysConfig
    System Configuration Tool

        SysConfig is a graphical interface for configuring software projects.
        Configuration files, C source files and header files are generated based
        on the parameters configured in the SysConfig dashboard. See
        :ref:`sysconfig-sysconfig`.

    TI-CLANG
    TI Arm Clang Compiler Toolchain

        The TI Arm Clang Compiler Toolchain (tiarmclang) is the next generation
        TI Arm compiler, replacing the previous TI Arm Compiler Tools (armcl).
        You can use the tiarmclang compiler toolchain to build applications from
        C, C++, and/or assembly source files to be loaded and run on one of the
        Cortex-M or Cortex-R Arm processors that are supported by the toolchain.
        You can find more information
        `here <https://www.ti.com/tool/download/ARM-CGT-CLANG-1>`_.

    VIMS
    Versatile Instruction Memory System

        A system control module that handles access to the device memory areas
        from the CPU and system bus. You can read more in the |TRM|.

    .bss
    
        Block started by symbol. This memory section usually contains
        uninitialized variables including the task stacks.
