Hi,

The Event Request Unit (ERU) is a modular logic that can select, combine, detect and memorize peripheral events. It can provide : Port-to-peripheral, peripheral-to-peripheral and port-to-port connection, which are configurable. When the gating conditions are met, the ERU can generate trigger pulses that are distributed back to the system as requests for HW actions. The ERU can select input signals from up to 32 event sources and request actions through four output channels. The ERU is typically used to provide an alternative signal path when there is no direct signal path available. It can be also used to trigger interrupts after combinational signal creation or edge triggering.
