Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Evaluate a scenario in an embedded device where various sensors generate interrupts. How would you design the interrupt handling with prioritization and masking?

💡 Hint: Think about the consequences of failed responses.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a flowchart to illustrate the state transitions during nested interrupts with priority masking.

💡 Hint: Use standard symbols to depict processes clearly.
