Abstract
A method of passing message data from a first device to a second device in a software defined radio (SDR) apparatus. A shared memory is defined in the apparatus for access by either one of the first and the second devices. A priority message originating from one of the devices and destined to the other device is loaded into a buffer of the shared memory, and the address of the buffer is passed to the other device. The message in the buffer of the shared memory is then accessed directly from the other device.
