Multiprocessor Design

I want to implement a multiprocessor solution that only shares memory. I am going to use a NIOS II core and an external Freescale processor. Is it possible for me to use the Mutex from the HAL library to handle the protection of the shared memory or do I need to implement my own hardware to do this. Any other suggestions or experiences would be appreciated 

 

Regards

As long as you could access the Mutex peripheral from the external Freescale processor, then I think there should be no problem (you have to rewrite the HAL Mutex driver for the freescale CPU, of course)
