Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a scenario involving three interrupt sources with different priority levels. Describe how you would manage them using both fixed and programmable priority schemes.

💡 Hint: Think about why certain interrupts might need different handling under different conditions.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how you would design an interrupt controller for a microcontroller handling multiple real-time events while considering nesting.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when high-priority events occur during the processing of lower-priority ones.
