This paper presents some proposals of architecture and interfaces among the different types of processing units of MIRAX on-board computing subsystem. MIRAX satellite payload is composed of dedicated computers, two Hard X-Ray cameras and one Soft X-Ray camera (WFC flight spare unit from BeppoSAX satellite). The architectures for the On-Board Computing Subsystem will take into account hardware or software solution of the event preprocessing for CdZnTe detectors. Hardware and software interfaces approaches will be shown and also requirements of on-board memory storage and telemetry will be addressed.
