Project templates are used to create new project for a board or for a device in MCU IDE (using SDK package) or in MDK uVision or IAR EmbWorkbench using CMSIS pack. These templates are mandatory for each device or board. The template typically contains the following files:

- pin_mux.*

- clock_config.*

- board.*

- peripherals.*

The project templates in the manifest:

    <component id="project_template.MK64F12.MK64F12" name="MK64F12" type="project_template" category="Board Support/SDK Project Template" device_cores="core0_MK64FN1M0xxx12" core="cm4" dependency="..." devices="MK64FN1M0xxx12" version="1.0.0" user_visible="true">
      <source path="devices/MK64F12/project_template" type="src">
        <files mask="board.c"/>
        <files mask="clock_config.c"/>
        <files mask="peripherals.c"/>
        <files mask="pin_mux.c"/>
      </source>
      <source path="devices/MK64F12/project_template" type="c_include">
        <files mask="board.h"/>
        <files mask="clock_config.h"/>
        <files mask="peripherals.h"/>
        <files mask="pin_mux.h"/>
      </source>
    </component>

    <component id="project_template.frdmk64f.MK64F12" name="frdmk64f" type="project_template" category="Board Support/SDK Project Template" device_cores="core0_MK64FN1M0xxx12" core="cm4" dependency="..." devices="MK64FN1M0xxx12" version="1.0.0" user_visible="true">
      <source path="boards/frdmk64f/project_template" type="src">
        <files mask="board.c"/>
        <files mask="clock_config.c"/>
        <files mask="peripherals.c"/>
        <files mask="pin_mux.c"/>
      </source>
      <source path="boards/frdmk64f/project_template" type="c_include">
