Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a simple embedded system that needs to perform three tasks periodically: turning on a fan every 5 minutes, sending a temperature reading every minute, and logging data every 10 minutes. Explain how you would implement timing for these tasks using hardware timers.
💡 Hint: Consider the timing functions and how to avoid conflicts.
Question 2
Discuss the impact of latency on task execution in RTOS when using hardware timers. Provide a situation where high latency could cause failure in a time-sensitive application.
💡 Hint: Reflect on situations where timing is precisely critical.
