1.16.8. Generating the HPS IP Component System View Description File

Platform Designer systems that contain an HPS IP component generate a System View Description (.svd) file that lists peripherals connected to the ARM® processor.

The .svd (or CMSIS-SVD) file format is an XML schema specified as part of the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) that ARM® provides. The .svd file allows HPS system debug tools (such as the DS-5 Debugger) to view the register maps of peripherals connected to HPS in a Platform Designer system.
