Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is nesting in the context of interrupts?

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to the current ISR when a more urgent one comes in.

Question 2

Easy

Why is context saving important during nesting?

💡 Hint: Consider what the CPU needs to remember.

Question 1

What is the main benefit of nesting interrupts?

  • Increased CPU workload
  • Improved responsiveness
  • Reduced system complexity

💡 Hint: Think about why a system needs to respond urgently to certain events.

Question 2

True or False: Nesting interrupts can lead to stack overflow.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the consequences of multiple interrupts occurring at once.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a system where an ISR handles data acquisition from a sensor, design a nested interrupt system that integrates a dead man’s switch as a higher-priority interrupt to ensure safety.

💡 Hint: Consider what checks are necessary for safety and how data acquisition tasks can be safely interrupted.

Question 2

Propose a testing strategy to evaluate how effectively your nesting interrupt system handles multiple simultaneous interrupts without errors.

💡 Hint: Think about how you can track what happens to shared resources during testing.
