A processor is presented, comprising a programmable pipeline and at least one interface engine ( 130 ), adapted to be connected to at least one external device ( 140 ) located externally of the processor. The processor is characterized in that the interface engine ( 130 ) is adapted to receive a request ( 170 ) from the programmable pipeline, to send to the external device ( 140 ) a request output ( 270 ), based on the request ( 170 ), and to send to the pipeline a response ( 340 ) to the request ( 170 ). Preferably, the request ( 170 ) comprises a first request code ( 210 ), according to a first coding scheme, and the interface engine ( 130 ) is adapted to execute a program, the execution being dependent upon the first request code, to obtain a device control code ( 300 ) for the external device ( 140 ), according to a second coding scheme.
