Introduction

This driver for Atmel^® | SMART ARM^®-based microcontrollers provides a unified interface for the configuration and management of the Event Channels.

The peripheral event generators and users are interconnected by a network known as the Peripheral Event System.

The Peripheral Event System allows low latency peripheral-to-peripheral signaling without CPU intervention, and without consuming system resources such as bus or RAM bandwidth. This offloads the CPU and system resources compared to a traditional interrupt-based software driven system.
