Abstract
Apparatus for sharing data between processors having certain incompatible data formats is provided. A configurable data path unit and an address mapping unit allow a peripheral processor to access addressable storage locations within a host processor's main memory and store data types in a format so that the both processors can correctly access and interpret the data.
