Method and apparatuses for communicating a message received from a main processor to a peripheral device

摘要

A message handling arrangement for communicating messages between a processor (312) and a plurality of peripheral devices (318) in a communication device (300) comprises a timer for generating trigger signals for triggering events, a message handler for receiving from the main processor at least one message associated with one of the plurality of peripheral devices and with an event and for transmitting the at least one message in response to a trigger signal generated by the timer for the event and a router coupled to the message handler for receiving the at least one message transmitted by the message handler and for communicating the at least one message to the associated one of the plurality of peripheral devices. Each message includes operation data for controlling the operation of a peripheral device for an event.
