What is the primary purpose of the vector table in an embedded system?
💡 Hint: Think about what the vector table does when an interrupt is triggered.
True or False: The interrupt controller can mask (disable) specific interrupts.
💡 Hint: Consider what it means when we say that masking can occur.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple embedded system that includes multiple sensors. Describe how you would configure both the vector table and the interrupt controller for efficient operation. Consider aspects of priority and masking.
💡 Hint: Think about how prioritization affects tasks and what sensors might need immediate attention.
Evaluate a scenario where an interrupt controller is not able to handle multiple interrupts effectively. What are the potential consequences in an embedded system, and how could proper configuration mitigate these issues?
💡 Hint: Consider the role of priority in how quickly tasks can respond to events.
