An apparatus and method for controlling a device with shared hardware resources to provide separate execution environments for control and data functions are disclosed. A processor may be configured to generate a first request to access control functions of the device in response to execution of a first thread, and generate a second request to access data functions of the device in response to execution of a second thread. A communication unit may send first indicative of the first request and second data indicative of the second request to the device via first and second ports, respectively.
