Question 1

What is the main advantage of vectored interrupts?

They share ISRs
They have unique entries
They reduce system complexity

💡 Hint: Remember how they help in quick decision making for processors.

Question 2

True or False: Non-vectored interrupts require checking the source of the interrupt.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about how they operate without unique pointers.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a system that uses both vectored and non-vectored interrupts, discuss how you would enable efficient interrupt handling in a real-time application.

💡 Hint: Think about the role priorities play in your system choice.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a scenario where interrupt masking could hinder system performance. Propose a solution.

💡 Hint: Consider the balance between managing critical applications and allowing necessary interrupts.
