+Steps to Create a Pack</h1>
+<p>The following image shows the basic steps that are required to create a Software Pack:</p>
+<div class="image">
+<img src="PackCreateSteps.png" alt="PackCreateSteps.png"/>
+</div>
+<ol type="1">
+<li><b>Produce input:</b> Create the files that will be delivered with the Pack.</li>
+<li><b>Organize files:</b> Use directories to separate the content of the Pack.</li>
+<li><b>Create PDSC file:</b> The XML based PDSC file can be created using any text editor. Editors that can validate XML code against a schema file help to find bugs early in the Pack development stage.</li>
+<li><b>Generate PACK:</b> Any compression tool supporting the ZIP format can be used to create a PACK file. <a class="el" href="_pack_chk.html">PackChk.exe</a> is helpful for the validation of the contents of a Pack.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>The following pages will show how to create a Software Pack from scratch. The page <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Pack with Software Components</a> will start with a simple Pack containing only the PDSC file and a single software component and will then explain further elements of a Pack in more detail. The page <a class="el" href="_create_pack__d_f_p.html">Pack with Device Support</a> adds information on the additional requirements that a DFP has, while <a class="el" href="_create_pack_board.html">Pack with Board Support</a> will elaborate on the content specific to a BSP.</p>
+<h1><a class="anchor" id="PackFilenames"></a>
+Pack Conventions</h1>
+<p>All files that belong to a <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a> are compressed into a *.PACK file using a standard <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_%28file_format%29" target="_blank">ZIP file format</a>. The content of each <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a> is described in the Pack Description (*.PDSC) file that is part of each <b>Pack</b>. Refer to <a class="el" href="_pack_format.html">Pack Description (*.PDSC) Format</a> for more information.</p>
+<p>A <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a> must have a unique filename following this naming convention: <b>&lt;vendor&gt;.&lt;name&gt;.&lt;version&gt;.pack</b>.</p>
+<p><b>Where:</b> </p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>&lt;vendor&gt;</b> is name of the supplier or vendor of the <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
+<li><b>&lt;name&gt;</b> is name of the <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a>. It is the vendor's responsibility to ensure unique package names.</li>
+<li><b>&lt;version&gt;</b>specifies the version number of the <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
+<li><b>.pack</b> is the file extension identifying a <a class="el" href="_c_p__s_w_components.html">Software Pack</a>.</li>
+</ul>
+<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><ul>
+<li>The XML elements <b>&lt;vendor&gt;</b>, <b>&lt;name&gt;</b>, and <b>&lt;version&gt;</b> are declared in the <a class="el" href="_pack_format.html#Filenames">PDSC</a> file.</li>
+<li><b>&lt;vendor&gt;</b> and <b>&lt;name&gt;</b> <em>must</em> <em>not</em> contain spaces.</li>
+</ul>
+</dd></dl>
+<p>The PDSC file needs to reside at the top-level of the Pack file, using it as the root directory for all file references.</p>
