+One aspect to take into consideration is the event scheduling. SPICE uses some
+`SpiceCoreInterface` to handle events. As the events will be handled from a
+thread based on the core interface you have to use the correct core. Each
+channel has an associated core interface which can be retrieved using
+`red_channel_get_core_interface`. There's also a main core interface you can get
+using `reds_get_core_interface`. `reds_core_timer_*` and `reds_core_watch_*`
+functions use the main core interface.
