A system for a multiple chip architecture that enables different system on-chip (SoC) systems with varying compatibilities to interact as one SoC via a transparent interface. The system address maps of the single SoCs are configured so that each provide a system address map of the two SoCs without overlap or address re-mapping when connected to one another via the transparent interface. The transparent interface enables components related to safety/security and interrupt communication of a first and second SoC within the multiple chip system to transparently communicate and interact. The transparent interface can enable sources of both SoCs to be flexibly mapped to interrupt services providers on the first/second SoC within the multiple chip system.
