The event manager is a combinational router between event publishers and event subscribers. The event publishers are routed to a central event manager IP where a subscriber can select the appropriate events.
The publisher signals can be driven from the peripherals, GPIOs, and different system resources. The subscribers are the Host MCU nVIC, Host MCU AON (ELP), and peripherals.
The publisher signals can be driven directly to the subscribers (direct events) or concentrated into a single common event to the subscriber (concentrated events). In addtion, the publisher signals can be driven as trigger events into the peripherals (HW events).
Direct events are connected directly from the publisher to the subscriber with no configurations in the event manager.
Concentrated events are several events concentrated together into a single event. Each of the individual events can be masked and have status read separately.
Hardware (HW) events are driven to the event manager via hardware, and a single event can be selected for each peripheral.
Figure 5-1 shows a simple illustration of the event manager concept
The event manager is divided into AON and AAON power domains blocks. The AON registers are in the SOC AON aperture and the AAON registers are in the SOC AAON aperture. All event manager registers are in the AON domain except for DMA concentrator registers.
The SOC AON register values are kept when the device enters low power mode unlike the the SOC AAON registers which are reset.
