The following steps are used to configure the main timer cross trigger (which is TIMGx in this example):
Configure the main timer (which triggers other secondary timers) for the desired function, such as PWM output generation or using compare mode, to trigger other peripherals. See Section 28.2.5 for how to configure for PWM generation.
If the main timer needs to start off the same trigger, required for synchonized timers, set ETSEL to trigger from the main timer and set TSEL.TE = 1.
For example, if the main timer is TIMA0 then the ETSEL value needs to equal the TIMA.TRIG0 in order to start the main timer from the cross trigger.
The table of timer cross triggers can be found in the device-specific datasheet under the detailed description section for timers.
Figure 28-39 shows the connection logic and registers.
