Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an interrupt vector table for an embedded system with three peripherals: a temperature sensor, a keyboard, and a network adapter. Specify priority levels and describe how your vector will handle incoming interrupts.

💡 Hint: Think about which interrupts are more critical and why.

Challenge 2 Hard

Critically analyze a scenario where a low-priority interrupt delays the execution of a high-priority ISR. Provide a solution to mitigate this issue using an improved interrupt vector design.

💡 Hint: Consider how prioritization affects system stability and responsiveness.
