Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the purpose of the configuration process?

   Hint

   Think about tailor-made needs.

2. 2.

   What does cross-compilation enable?

   Hint

   Consider different target systems.

3. 3.

   What is the main goal of the configuration process in embedded systems?

   • To compile code
   • To customize features and settings
   • To create a boot image

   Hint

   Focus on what happens at the very beginning.

4. 4.

   True or False: Cross-compilation is used to build software on the target system.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall where the compilation takes place.

5. 5.

   Given a performance constraint scenario, outline how you would select kernel features during the configuration process.

   Hint

   Think about which features are essential.

6. 6.

   Design an embedded system for a health-monitoring device while considering cross-compilation challenges. Outline your approach.

   Hint

   Remember, balancing functionality with resource constraints is key.
