Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Imagine a system running multiple ISRs. Discuss how you would design a strategy for context switching to handle high-frequency interrupts efficiently.

💡 Hint: Think about the balance between speed and handling multiple events.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an embedded system where multiple sensors use ISRs for reading data, ensuring that the system does not suffer from latencies. Outline your approach.

💡 Hint: Consider resource management while handling multiple data sources.
