Question 1

What is the difference between maskable and non-maskable interrupts?

  • Maskable interrupts can be ignored by software
  • while non-maskable cannot.
  • Non-maskable interrupts are slower than maskable.
  • All interrupts are maskable.
  • Maskable interrupts are more critical.

💡 Hint: Remember the priority levels of interrupts.

Question 2

True or False: Non-maskable interrupts can be disabled by the system.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about their importance in system operations.
