39 //!
40 //! The event fabric consists of two event modules. One in the MCU power domain (MCU event fabric) and
41 //! the other in the AON power domain (AON event fabric). The MCU event fabric is one of the subscribers
42 //! to the AON event fabric. For more information on AON event fabric, see [AON event API](@ref aonevent_api).
43 //!
44 //! The MCU event fabric is a combinational router between event sources and event subscribers. Most
45 //! event subscribers have statically routed event sources but several event subscribers have
46 //! configurable event sources which is configured in the MCU event fabric through this API. Although
47 //! configurable only a subset of event sources are available to each of the configurable event subscribers.
48 //! This is explained in more details in the function @ref EventRegister() which does all the event routing
49 //! configuration.
50 //!
51 //! MCU event fabric also contains four software events which allow software to trigger certain event
52 //! subscribers. Each of the four software events is an independent event source which must be set and
53 //! cleared in the MCU event fabric through the functions:
54 //! - @ref EventSwEventSet()
55 //! - @ref EventSwEventClear()
56 //! - @ref EventSwEventGet()
