Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

How would implementing vectored interrupts affect the performance of a real-time application that previously relied on non-vectored interrupts? Discuss in terms of speed and task management.

💡 Hint: Think about how critical time-sensitive tasks need instantaneous access.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a simple system that uses vectored interrupts. Describe how you would structure the interrupt vector table and handle multiple interrupt sources within it.

💡 Hint: Consider how organized a system needs to be to handle many inputs smoothly.
