Peripherals () are connected to a processor () and a programmable peripheral interconnect () is connected to each peripheral. One of the peripherals () is configured to signal an event to the interconnect, and one of the peripherals () is configured to respond to a task signal from the interconnect by performing a task. The task-receiving peripheral () has a task register (), addressable by the processor (), and performs the task in response to a change in the contents of the register (). The interconnect () accesses a memory () in which a mapping is stored between an event of a first peripheral () and a task of a second peripheral (), the mapping comprising (i) an identification of the event, and (ii) the address of a task register (). The mapping causes the interconnect () to provide a channel by sending a task signal to the second peripheral () in response to a signal of the event from the first peripheral ().
