+/// \dir
+/// !!!Purpose
+///
+/// The #peripherals# directory stores a collection of basic APIs for each of
+/// the peripherals available on AT91 microcontrollers.
+///
+/// !!!Contents
+/// Each subdirectory inside this one provides code for a single peripheral. The
+/// directory is named according to the short-handed name of the peripheral, as
+/// written in the product datasheet (e.g. Advanced Interrupt Controller code
+/// is located in the #aic# directory).
+///
+/// Peripheral APIs provide low-level functions to simplify the use of
+/// AT91 peripherals. However, they do not provide fully-fledged drivers; such
+/// code can be found in the #drivers# directory of at91lib.
