Question 1

What does prioritization in interrupts mean?

a) The ability to execute interrupts simultaneously
b) The order in which interrupts are executed
c) The time it takes to execute an interrupt

💡 Hint: Think about why some interrupts need to be handled before others.

Question 2

True or False: In interrupt nesting, a lower-priority interrupt can interrupt a higher-priority one.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider which interrupts should take precedence.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an embedded system that requires interrupt prioritization and nesting. Describe how you would prioritize interrupts and manage nesting.

💡 Hint: Think about the context of your embedded system. What events might be more urgent?

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze potential performance issues that might arise from excessive nesting in interrupt handling.

💡 Hint: Consider the computational cost of responding to nested interrupts.
