6.4 - Interrupt Prioritization and Nesting

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is an interrupt?

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when an event occurs that needs immediate attention.

Question 2

Easy

Why is prioritization important in interrupt handling?

💡 Hint: What happens when two interrupts occur at the same time?

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 challenges.

Question 1

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?

Question 2

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

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