Re: How to read/write an 'address' from a memory location......

My problem is: I have two processors exchanging data over a shared
section of memory. Now before processor 1 can write the data for
processor 2 (in the shared memory), processor 1 needs to tell
processor 2 where exactly it will be writing. Thats where i was coming
from - processor 1 basically needs to write an "address" into a
predefined location for processor 2 and that "address" will hold the
actual data for processor 2.

Thanks a lot for all your clarifications. I should try some of them
now!

Warm regards,

Ah, the pleasures of using dual-port RAM. You need to have a good
handle on the use of semaphores so that the data is not overwritten
before the second processor has read it.
