This application note introduces the XMEGA Event system and its features and usage
The document introduces the XMEGA Event System, explaining how peripherals can communicate via events without CPU or DMA involvement. It lists software and hardware prerequisites, such as AVR Studio 4.18 SP2, WinAVR/GCC, the Xplain evaluation board, and JTAGICE mkII, and estimates a 2‑hour completion time.
Four practical tasks guide the user through building a 32‑bit timer, configuring input capture with filtering, synchronizing peripheral actions, and manually generating events. The note also provides resources, support contacts, and legal disclaimer information.
