Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are designing an embedded system that processes real-time data. Discuss how you would implement interrupt handling mechanisms, considering the need for both maskable and non-maskable interrupts.
💡 Hint: Consider the considerations for different sources of signals in your design.
Question 2
Explain the significance of the context switch during interrupt handling. In your explanation, describe what data is preserved and how this impacts the performance of the CPU.
💡 Hint: Think about what is necessary for the CPU to remember.
