Every peripheral is applicable to developers.

Hi,

I want to add some information here.

Although every peripheral is applicable to developers, several compilation flags

must be set to FALSE in order to eliminate the posibility of interference with Z-stack

HAL modules. There is no one source with a whole list of these flags, but the table

under section 2.2 in "Z-Stack HAL Porting Guide.pdf" is very useful.

Timer2 is not available - use exclusively by MAC library.

DMA Ch0 is required by OSAL Nv system for flash writes.

DMA Ch1/2 is required by security sub-system (optional to not use DMA for AES, but not recommended for throughput).

DMA Ch3/4 is required for robust UART (optional to not use with hal_uart_isr.c).
